Book Details
First Sentence
"According to Christian missionaries, a worship of the Devil is world-wide; but probably nowhere outside the territories south of the present Asiatic Turkey, known as Kurdistân and the Sinjar, does it amount to anything more than a cult which, in the absence of a better term, might be termed a limited Atheism."
