War on the devil and on hell

WAR ON THE DEVIL AND ON HELL, the ineptitude of the devil, the devil converted; by Jean de la Veuze. Booklet in-18, price: 1 fr. – Bordeaux, Ferrel, bookseller. – Paris, Didier & Cie, 35, quai des Augustins; Ledoyen, Palais-Royal.

The author, starting from the point that Spiritism is a conception of the devil, aiming to draw to himself the greatest number of souls, traces a rapid sketch of it, from the first manifestations in America down to our own days, showing that the devil erred in his calculations, for he saves the souls that were lost and disastrously lets escape those that were his own. Seeing this, he converted, as did part of his acolytes. It is a witty and merry critique of the role that the devil is made to play in recent times, but in which serious, profound thoughts of perfect accuracy stand out through a jocular tone. We have not the slightest doubt that this little book will be read with pleasure by many people.

LETTERS TO THE IGNORANT, philosophy of common sense; by V. Tournier. Booklet in-18, price:

fr. – Dentu, Palais-Royal. [Philosophie du bon sens, lettres aux ignorants, par V. Tournier — Google Books.]

The author, a fervent and enlightened Spiritist, reproduces in verse the fundamental principles of the Spiritist Doctrine, according to The Spirits’ Book. We sincerely congratulate him on the intention that presided over his work. Whatever the form under which the Doctrine presents itself, it is always an indication of the popularization of the idea and so many seeds scattered which bear fruit more or less, according to the form in which they are clothed. The essential thing is that the substance be accurate, as is the case here. Allan Kardec.
