To give any idea of the scope of this im- mense work would be merely to write down all the forms of worship and religion which have obtained any notoriety, or are repre- sented in any literature from the earliest period of the world's history. The index alone extends to 283 pages, and with its aid the " Origine " is of the utmost service as a book of reference on any and all points at all connected with the subject of Ancient Wor- ships. The worship of Abraxas, of Adonis, " the father of Priapus " (in which by the way are some theories that would delight Mr. Gerald Massey, e.g. the identification of the Christian Eucharist with the mysteries of Adonis) ; of the Phallus ; the Serpent ; the meaning of the Apocalypse (it turns out to be merely a Book of Initiation in some obscure mysteries) ; the origin of Christianity (an off- shoot of Mithraism); the teaching of the Chal- dees ; the Mysteries ; the Gnostics : these are a few of the subjects treated of in this work.

The author is widely known as one of the most accomplished of modern Orientalists and students of Folk-Lore and Folk-Tales. Mr. Clouston collaborated with Sir Richard Burton in the production of his splendid edition of the Arabian Nights. The present work might serve as a model to those whose labours lie in the same direction, for its faithful and spirited renderings, but above all for the rich store of parallel tales and vari- ants collected from the most remote sources. 32

" Mr. Machen has done his task very well, giving sufficient, but not excessive, colour of archaism to the style, and avoiding, so far as we have noticed, those unlucky stumblings into modernity which some archaizing trans- lators do not avoid." — Athentzum.

Extract from the " Chronicle of Clemendy" : — " From Ville des Pensees to Chasteau de Par Amours was a brave road, through a delicious country abounding in sunlit meadows, shady groves, and rippling brooks, thrilling with the song of nightingales. Imagine then, I pray you, my beautiful Con- 34

stance (who assuredly must have carried in Arthur her bosom a wonderful spell against Sirius, for that malefic star could not hurt her nor scorch her red and white), and the little dark man with hungry eyes, in his dingy scholar's vestment, walking hand in hand (ah ! how fiercely pressed together) down the long road, and halting now and again lor a little while in the arbours by the way. In short, they reached the valley together, and mounted up into the wonderful castle of Par Amours, where, certes, there is choice entertainment and soft lodging ; musick, too, from horns, harps, and vyalls to pierce the heart ; and deambulatories in rose-gardens, and along incredible galleries hanging from the summits of pinnacled tower and of stony wall. What shall I say of their over-shadowed parliaments in the woods, their countersigns and secret signals to one another, and of the times when Constance, full of shame, yet fuller of love, went stealthily in the dead of night along the dark passages, by the savage warriors of the arras, and up the long weary winding stair to Luigi's chamber ?

It will only be necessary to point out to lovers of beautiful books that the above edition of the Heptameron unites the ad- vantages of an absolutely correct text, copious and valuable notes, and a most exquisite series of illustrations ; the tail-pieces especially are marvels of delicate fancy and suggestive- ness. It may safely be said that no more beautiful, correct, or useful edition of the Heptameron has been published.
