Moncure Daniel Conway (1832 1907), the son of a Virginian
plantation-owner, became a Unitarian minister but his anti-slavery
views made him controversial. He later became a freethinker, and
following the outbreak of the Civil War, which deeply divided his
own family, he left the United States for England in 1863. He
gained a reputation for being the 'least orthodox preacher in
London', and was acquainted with many figures in the literary and
scientific world, including Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin. In
this two-volume work, first published in 1879, Conway draws from
examples across the world to discuss the origins and decline of
beliefs in demons. In Volume 2, he discusses the role that the
Devil plays in Christianity (including analysis of the story of the
Fall of Man), and that similar figures play in other religions,
offering the view that such figures are personifications of certain
human attributes.
