Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Epedimic of the Nineteenth Century In looking back on the history of mankind, one is struck with the fact that a false and pernicious sentiment now and then seizes upon the mind and conscience of a people, and rages among them, in a way strikingly analogous to those epidemic bodily maladies which, "walking in darkness," afflict communities for awhile, and then pass away. The Crusades, and later, the Witch mania, were moral epidemics spreading far and wide, and raging at some points like the plague, the Asiatic cholera, or the African fever in foul cities. Who does not see that the Crusades were truly a spiritual malady, morbidly affecting the judgments of men, deranging the mind and conscience, instead of the vital organs? An honest sense of religious duty seized upon and urged forward the Crusaders to deluge nations in blood - all for the honor of Christ. Who but now sees, that in the age of Witchcraft, honest men - judges, such as Sir Matthew Hale, and Lord Coke, and most learned divines as well, took leave of their senses in pursuing pious and harmless old women to the death, under charges, by modes of trial, and upon evidence such as idiots only could well be supposed capable of listening to for a moment.
