О книге

Excerpt from The Worship of the Serpent: Traced Throughout the World, and Its Traditions Referred to the Events in Paradise: Proving the Temptation and Fall of Man by the Instrumentality of a Serpent Tempter

The deception of Eve by Satan, through the instrumentality of a serpent has ever been an object of ridicule with the profane, who, reading without reflection, or reflecting without reading, deem that "a foolishness" which they cannot understand, or that "a stumbling-block" which they cannot explain away. Thus faith, which had defied the sophistry of the acutest sceptic, has been sometimes shaken by an incredulous sneer: and Christians, who would have scorned to be argued out of their religion, have not been ashamed to be laughed out of it.

To establish by the testimony of heathen authorities the credibility of the Temptation and Fall of Man in Paradise, through the agency of Satan in a serpent's form, is my endeavour in the following Treatise: nor is it with a vain confidence that every argument adduced is either new or conclusive.
