This book is intended to offer an introduction or primer, quite brief considering the nature of the subject, and certainly very far from approaching completeness, of the leading and most interesting features of the most prominent ancient and modern hells. It presents an evolutionary study of the Pit commonly called bottomless; a sort of comparative eschatology which may prove generally interesting.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
