Abstract

Superstition may be divided into four classes: 1) improper worship of the true God; 2) idolatry; 3) divination; and 4) vain observances including magic and occult arts. It is with the last type of superstition that this thesis deals and under this heading are included all those "beliefs and practices which, at least by implication, attribute supernatural or preter­natural powers for good or evil to causes evidently incapable of producing the expected effects."
