Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Zoological Mythology, Vol. 1 of 2: The Legends of Animals It is not without some little anxiety and trepidation that I, for the first time in my career as a student, venture to address myself to a foreign public, and clothe my ideas in a foreign tongue; nor is it without considerable diffidence in my own powers that I have chosen to do so on a subject which, however interesting it is on account of its novelty and its historical significance, has brought me face to face with difficulties, and a range of scholarship and speculation, which, as in the presence of a foolhardy enterprise, have more than once given me pause. If, however, notwithstanding these incessant fears of mine, and the caution they so naturally inspire, I have, from other considerations, suffered myself to be hurried away into statements which may appear crude or inconclusive, I cast myself at the outset on the kindness of my readers, and respectfully bespeak their indulgent regards. The essential defect of this book will, without doubt, lie in its incompleteness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Zoological Mythology, Vol. 1 of 2: The Legends of Animals Since, then, the ancient myths still exist, although only in a fragmentary shape, in the popular traditions of Europe, these fragments, connected together, offer a precious material for comparison with the ancient forms, which the genius of poets and artists has coloured, but which could not be easily interpreted without the aid of the remaining traditions. The ancient myth often gives us the germ of many existing traditions, and, in the same manner, existing legends resolve the enigma of more than one ancient celestial personification. Their relation to each other is almost immediate, and the demonstration of this is the precise object of the science in the interest of which I now offer my first modest contribution.
