The author “thinks that we have not only proof of the existence of a supernatural world, but also knowledge of its inhabitants and governing laws. He bases his views almost entirely upon the accounts given in the Bible of angelic visitations, miraculous events, etc. It is astonishing what an elaborate structure he rears on their foundations. The supernatural world he conceives on the analogy of the natural.... The angelic beings ... have bodies like the human, only more ethereal; senses like the human, only more refined; and are nourished, not by food taken in the mouth, but by elements absorbed from the atmosphere. Fancies like these are multiplied, and curious speculations abound.”—Am. J. Theol.
“One is bound to respect the reverence with which he approaches his subject, and the frank and earnest manner in which he avows his beliefs.” Henry W. Wright.
