Walter Richard Cassels
Walter Richard Cassels was a 19th-century English writer best known for his anonymously published work "Supernatural Religion." This three-volume critique, first published in 1874, challenged the authenticity of the miracles described in the New Testament, sparking significant controversy among theologians and scholars. Cassels was eventually identified as the author, but he maintained a private life, not engaging much in the public debates his work provoked. Beyond "Supernatural Religion," little is known about his other literary contributions, and he remains a somewhat enigmatic figure in Victorian literary history.

It therefore seems to me advisable to give a solution of the "Eidolon," the symbol, which follows,...
