First edition. The "Court Goblet d'Alviella, by pursuing his investigations on a severely inductive basis, at once, and, so to say, single handed, raised the inquiry to its proper position as a department of archeological research, producing a work destined to exert an abiding influence on the whole future of the study of symbolism, and also, I would fain hope, on that of the decorative designs of the artistic industries of the West." â Â" George Birdwood (introduction, 1894 - & he favored the "literary quality" of this original French edition over that of the English translation three years later, thus his introduction). / Goblet d'Alviella was a Professor of the history of religions and rector of the Universite Libre de Brunelle He created the Chair of History of Religions at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles. He served as president of the Royal Belgian Geographical Society. He became famous for this book, La Migration des Symboles, which is one of the foundations of religious archeology. An English edition was issued in 1894. See: Paul Fesch, Bibliographie de la franc-maconnerie et des societes secretes, imprimes et manuscrits, Paris, 1912-13, pp. 699-700.
