Description
The Pomps of Satan is a volume of Essays by Edgar Saltus.
...reviews:
The Queen. — "Mr. Edgar Saltus, the famous New York novelist, has never received his due in this country; Qua style there are few writers who are his equals; he is so well read, so witty, so absolutely free from verbiage. 'The Pomps of Satan,' his new work, is not a novel, but a volume of essays bursting with point, as clever as 'Lady Windermere's Fan.' Its paradoxes are simply admirable."
Sunday Sun. — "We confess to being much amused, and to being astounded at its cleverness."
Outlook. — "This is a series of satirical essays on the follies of life, and is written with keen wit and ready epigrams."
Smart Set. — "There is a charm and brilliant subtilty, the attraction of inverted logic, the fascination of sparkling satire, and the good humour of the moral philanthropist of the Edgar Saltus brand. 'Pomps of Satan' is mental champagne."
