It has to do with what the childhood of our race has thought of the mysteries of nature and of life, and how it has endeavored to inter- pret the spiritual forces governing human destiny which still feed our universal curiosity and provoke the never-answered WHY ? of our inward thoughts. MONROE'S CYCLOPEDIA OF EDUCATION: " It would seem to be highlyimportant to compare the my- thologies of various nations in all stages of civilization in order to gain a broader view." NEW YORK TIMES: "Monumental in its plan and signifi- cance." Tap Mythology, the well-spring of our cus- toms, religion, literature, art, philosophy, and music, and see the prehistoric phases of our own beliefs. Enjoy the quaint, beautiful, in- formative, or inspiring tales to which any given modern doctrine, legend, or superstition may usually be traced back. Feel the quickening and sympathy which come with reading of those distant ages and distant men as soon as we realize that here is the story of our own race indeed, of our own selves. Max Mullen Says: "Mythology not only pervades the sphere of religion and tradition, but infects more or less the whole realm of thought." BOSTON TRANSCRIPT: " Will test and en- compass the skill of scholars through- out the world." "May safely be pronounced one of the most important enterprises of this age of co-operative scholarship." Prof. George F. Moore, LL.D., Harvard Univ. " The value of such a work must needs be great." Outlook. "Exhibit wide and accurate scholarship. Readable as well as informative, being suited to a gentleman's library rather than restricted to that of the scholar." N. Y. Eve. Post. "Pre-eminent for splendid type, excellent plates, attractive binding." Literary Digest. Each volume is the work of a scholar pre-eminent in his particular field, but "written in a fashion so popular that they cannot fail to interest the general reader." In the whole 13 volumes which the work comprises there are more than 800 beautiful illustrations, many in color, from native sources, including photogravures, four, three, and two-color prints, half-tones, and line plates. Five years of preparation, and vast expenditures have been required to make this set in point of interest, scholarship and elegance, "a thing of beauty, and a joy forever." Four volumes have been issued: Classical, by Dr. William Sher- wood Fox of Princeton University; Indo-Iranian, by A. Berriedale Keith, D.C.L., Edinburgh University, and Albert J. Carnoy, Ph.D., University of Louvain; North American, by Dr. Hartley Burr Alex- ander of the University of Nebraska, and Oceanic, by Dr. Roland Burrage Dixon of Harvard University.
