Synopsis

Excerpt from Phallism a Description of the Worship of Lingam-Yoni in Various Parts of the World, and in Different Ages The subject described and illustrated in the following pages, though springing from a common source, has naturally many branches, and assumes a number of somewhat complicated forms; in order, however, to keep the volume within its intended limits, care has been taken not to digress from the main topic, or stray in any way from the matter indicated by the title. It may perhaps occur to a casual observer, that Phallism is a topic wanting in sufficient interest to make it worthy of any amount of consideration or study, it is hoped that the extraordinary facts here narrated, the extensive and tenacious hold this worship had and still has upon multitudes in various parts of the world, and the mysterious objects supposed to be connected with it, meeting us in all directions, will speedily dissipate such an idea. A subject which reaches from the earliest dawn of history through long and eventful ages, down to the most modern times, and touches almost every kingdom of the past and present, in the four quarters of the earth, and which is so closely interwoven with the moral, social and religious life of the vast British dominions in the East, must have an interest peculiarly its own.
