Excerpt from The Devil's Progress: A Poem
It is scarcely necessary to say that this poem owes its origin to the striking (though not, otherwise, very clever) jeu d'esprit from which its epigraph is adopted; and which has been, for some time, running about the world, under the credit of the various paternities of Porson, Coleridge, and Southey, - the latter of whom is (or perhaps the two latter, jointly, are) pretty generally supposed to be its authors. To whomsoever this title may be due, it is probable that it has not been considered, by its author, worth reclaiming; as, excepting the ingenuity of its idea, (more felicitous, after all, than original,) it has little to recommend it, and was, there can be little doubt, thrown upon the world, by the writer, as a thing of no pretension.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating journey into the mind of a devil as he embarks on a tour of 19th-century England. The author takes a unique approach to exploring the themes of good and evil, sin and redemption, through the perspective of a mischievous and cynical devil. The devil observes and interacts with humans from all walks of life, from the pious to the corrupt, revealing their hidden vices and virtues. The book delves into the complex social and political landscape of the time, touching on issues such as poverty, inequality, and religious hypocrisy. It offers a satirical commentary on the human condition, highlighting our capacity for both great kindness and unspeakable cruelty. The devil's witty and often irreverent observations provide a fresh and thought-provoking lens through which to examine our own society. Ultimately, this book is a compelling exploration of the eternal struggle between good and evil within us all. It challenges our assumptions about morality and forces us to confront the darkness that lurks beneath the surface of even the most seemingly virtuous individuals. Through its rich imagery and insightful prose, this book offers a profound meditation on the nature of humanity and our place in the cosmos.
