Joseph B. Gross 
Heathen Religion 
In Its Popular and Symbolical Development

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Perhaps on no subject within the ample range of human knowledge, have so many fallacious ideas been propagated as upon that Of the gods and the worship Of heathen antiquity. Nothing but a shameful ignorance, a pitiable prejudice, or the most contemptible pride, which denounces all investigations as a useless or a criminal labor, when it must be feared that they will.
