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 1, he classifies types of demon and
argues that the various types are personifications of the main
obstacles to 'primitive man': he finds in mythology across the
world examples of animal demons and demons of hunger, fire and
disease.
