The Sorceress - A Study in Middle Age Superstition (Paperback)

1904. This book is only a by-work of the mighty chronicler of the history of France, the pastille of a period of comparative leisure and relaxation in a busy life spent at Toulon, the scene of some of the most thrilling of the events recorded - the pieties and ecstasies, the temptations and sufferings of poor Charlotte Cadiere and the villainies of her seducer, the vile hypocrite, Father Girard. But it is none the less delightful for that reason; in fact, it seems to reflect the author's brilliant personality, to express his intimate thoughts and personal views and predilections more vividly than longer and more labored treatises can do.
