69 booksGeorge Moir FRSE (1800–1870) was a Scottish advocate and author, amateur artist and early photographer. He was born in Aberdeen, and educated in the city. Moving to Edinburgh, he entered a lawyer's office and qualified as an advocate in 1825.

I struggled to read this book, since it constantly will shove down your throat the supposed superiority of Christianity over other religions, and the white man over other humans. It physically revolted me, and I quickly gave up. What it had to offer on magic and witchcraft went along the same lines of pure ignorance and superiority complexes.
