Works by the same Author.

'Among the numerous works which the constantly-growing interest in archæology has called forth, Mr. BROWN's treatise will be regarded as entitled to high favour. His labours will enable us to read our Bibles and ancient classics more understandingly. He has performed a prodigious deal of hard work, and done it admirably. Dionysos has been selected as the central figure, because his history covers the entire field of research. Mr. BROWN brings to his work the charm of novelty, and even of romance. The thoroughness, fidelity, and conscientiousness which he displays are almost exceptional.'-THE LIBRARY TABLE, New York.

The story is as interesting as a romance to the archæological inquirer. A profusion of authors are quoted to facilitate the investigation and to substantiate the conclusions. It must be acknowledged that they altogether appear to constitute a very satisfactory explanation.'--THE EVOLUTION, New York.

'The author of the "Great Dionysiak Myth" has given a fuller and more interior view of the fancied grape-god. We are conducted through a world of classical and mythological research far outside of Olympus, and even of Greece, over Syria, Egypt, Arabia, and the far Orient.'-THE MEDICAL TRIBUNE, New York.

THE RELIGION OF ZOROASTER CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH ARCHAIC MONOTHEISM.

'Mr. BROWN is a zealous explorer of the archaic world, and many of his conclusions are new to most classical and other scholars. His monograph on Poseidon clearly shows the non-identity of that divinity with Neptune. The "Great Dionysiak Myth,” in like manner, has traced Bacchus from Greece and Egypt to his Assyrian home. The present monograph is also a gem.'-THE MEDICAL TRIBUNE, New York.

THE RELIGION AND MYTHOLOGY OF THE ARYANS OF NORTHERN EUROPE.

'As full of learning as of valuable suggestions."-Rev. A. H. SAYCE, Deputy Professor of Comparative Philology in the University of Oxford.

LANGUAGE, AND THEORIES OF ITS ORIGIN.

'I have been delighted with what you have written. I know of no other publication in which the present state of the question in regard to the origin of speech, is presented with so much learning, clearness, and compactness.'-Professor SAYCE.

'Your interesting brochure has given me great pleasure. Complete understanding of the weightiness of the problem, and earnest endeavour after truth is expressed in it.'-Professor LUDWIG NOIRÉ, Mainz.

'Mr. BROWN has put together in a very clear and compact form the different theories that have been set forth of late years as to the origin of language. He has gone to the best authorities, and shows a wide extent of reading. At the same time he exercises an independent judgment in regard to the theories he describes, freely criticising those from which he differs. We can thoroughly recommend the pamphlet.'
