We find, as we should expect, that this vulgarisation of the word affected even Christians in the Greek-speaking countries.
"Christian Mysticism"
William Ralph Inge
The author speaks deprecatingly of his purpose in writing it, describing it as "un modeste ouvrage de vulgarisation," and thereby disarms criticism, for, considered from this point of view, it is successful; but I must guard not only myself but all other members of the Council of the S.P.R. from any endorsement of the sentiments and comments which M. Sage scatters somewhat liberally through his pages.
"Mrs. Piper & the Society for Psychical Research"
Michael Sage
If it is a picturesque vulgarisation, I do not wish to look it in the face.
