Excerpt from The Eclectic Magazine: Of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art, January to April, 1861Such is a brief sketch of the life and death of the divinity of the Druses - a blood-stained, capricious, im pious monster, whose career furnishes them with exam ples of almost every folly, excess, and crime that can disgrace humanity. The relentless cruelty which they have shown during the recent massacres is but the natural result of their false and impious creed - but an imitation of the intolerant and persecuting spirit displayed by their deity, more than eight centuries ago, in Egypt and Syria.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
