Description:
All six volumes in fine bindings. A New System; or, an Analysis of Antient Mythology: Wherein an Attempt is Made to Divest Tradition of Fable; and to Reduce the Truth to its Original Purity.Complete in six octavo volumes, each measuring approximately 8.25 x 5.5 x 1.25 inches.Fine red leather bindings with tooled and detailed in gold. Five raised bands on spines. Marbled end papers and page edges. Book plate on front paste down of each volume. Faint damp stain affecting lower margin of boards and pages 13 - 130 of vol three, as well as a small corresponding focus of it on the bottom of vol four s rear board. Plate xx (in vol 3) bound in upside down. Volume 1 has very slight cracking at the top and bottom of its front hinge, but all other hinges are completely intact both inside and out. A clean, bright, and tight unmarked copy with crisp rag paper leaves, wide margins, and with 41 plates and several foldout maps in strikingly good condition. Also contains a life of the author.In the genre of mythology, prior to Bulfinch, Bryant s was among the most celebrated, though he was certainly not without his dissenters.The plates in the first edition are known to be signed by James Basire (except the final plate which is unsigned). It is thought that William Blake (Basire s then apprentice) contributed to the plates and the unsigned one may have been entirely his. However, in this 1807 edition. The plates are signed by another of Basire s apprentices John Le Keux. So it seems that new engravings were necessary for the later edition, but still were rendered by the same studio.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book embarks on a captivating journey through the landscapes of ancient Egypt, meticulously examining its historical geography and unraveling the misconceptions surrounding the land of Goshen, the dwelling place of the Israelites during their time in Egypt.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of ancient mythology, seeking to uncover the origins and true meanings behind a range of ancient terms and concepts. The author focuses on tracing the evolution of language, particularly in the context of religious beliefs and practices, arguing that seemingly unrelated terms across different cultures are often connected through a shared root. The author challenges the prevailing interpretations of ancient mythology by examining the historical connections between ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Chaldeans, Canaanites, Greeks, and Romans, and demonstrating how these connections are reflected in shared linguistic patterns. The author contends that many terms, often used in the names of deities, places, and people, are derived from a common source, ultimately reflecting a shared system of beliefs and rituals associated with the worship of the sun. These beliefs, the author argues, were widely diffused throughout the ancient world, shaping the mythology and language of diverse cultures. This book offers a unique perspective on the history of language and religious beliefs, providing an insightful analysis of the interconnectedness of ancient cultures through the lens of etymology and comparative mythology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
