Discourse of LUCIFER: National, social, religious and scientific topics, principally about the United States of America

First published in the 19th century, Discourse of Lucifer is a strange and unsettling work that presents the voice of Lucifer himself—not as mere allegory, but as a commentator on the affairs of men. Through this infernal lens, the text explores national, social, religious, and scientific questions, with particular attention to the state of America in an age of upheaval and transformation.

Here, Lucifer speaks not only as tempter, but as observer and critic, exposing the hypocrisies of faith, the corruption of politics, and the blindness of a society enthralled by progress yet ignorant of its spiritual cost. The work reads as both satire and warning: a vision of the Devil as philosopher, mocking and dissecting the world that denies him while following his path.

Part political tract, part occult allegory, Discourse of Lucifer remains a provocative and dangerous book, daring to place in the Devil’s mouth a commentary on the very foundations of modern society.
