"Around the summer of 1874, Mark Twain rapidly read and digested W.E.H. Lecky's History of European Morals from Augustus to Charlemagne (1869), writing the following in the margins: "If I have understood this book aright, it proves two things beyond shadow or question: 1: That Christianity is the very invention of Hell itself; 2 & that Christianity is the most precious and elevating and ennobling boon ever vouchsafed to the world.""
