Tradition

Principally with Reference to Mythology and the Law of Nations

About this book

An argument that the myths of the nations are the broken remains of one original revelation, made by a Catholic peer in the years when comparative mythology was new and the stakes felt high. This edition is bound with sixty plates of paintings by Hubert Robert, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Leopold Pollak and others, dating from 1775 to 1900 and showing gardens, fountains and temples.
