This examination of the connection between the belief in miracles
and religious practices in ancient times was originally written by
French politician and polymath Anne-Joseph-Eus be Baconni re de
Salverte (1771 1839) and published in 1829. In 1846, it was
translated into English by a Scottish physician and writer, Anthony
Todd Thomson (1778 1849), and published in two volumes. Thomson
explains that Salverte's work was an important study of miracles
and the power of priests, and he had 'performed a beneficial
service in throwing open the gates of ancient sanctuaries'.
However, Thomson also states that he differed from Salverte over
the idea of the miraculous, and that he had expunged or heavily
edited any passages relating to Christianity, even changing
'miracles' in the original subtitle to 'apparent miracles'. Volume
1 begins with a consideration of human credulity before discussing
magic in the ancient world, and offering explanations for
supernatural phenomena.
