Isis Unveiled;
A Master Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Science and Theology. By H. P. Blavatsky, Corresponding Secretary of the Theosophical Society. 2 vols. Royal 8vo, about 1,500 pages, cloth, $7.50.
The recent revival of interest in Philology and Archæology, resulting from the labors of Bunsen, Layard, Higgins, Müller, Dr. Schliemann, and others, has created a great demand for works upon Eastern topics.
To the scholar and the specialist, to the philologist and the archæologist, this work will be a most valuable acquisition, aiding them in their labors and giving to them the only clue to the labyrinth of confusion in which they are involved. To the general reader it will be especially attractive because of its fascinating style and pleasing arrangement, presenting a constant variety of racy anecdote, pithy thought, sound scholarship, and vivid description. Mme. Blavatsky possesses the happy gift of versatility in an eminent degree, and her style is varied to suit her theme with a graceful ease refreshing to the reader, who is led without weariness from page to page. The author has accomplished her task with ability, and has conferred upon all a precious boon, whose benefit the scientist as well as the religionist, the specialist as well as the general reader, will not be slow to recognize.
Bible of Humanity;
By Jules Michelet, author of “The History of France,” “Priests, Women, and Families,” “L’Amour,” etc. Translated from the French by V. Calfa. 1 vol. 8vo, cloth, $3.00.
“His Bible of Humanity is a large epic in prose. The artist-historian, in the manner of inspired men and prophets, sings the evolution of mankind. There is no doubt that he throws brilliant glimpses of light on the long course of events and works which he unfolds; but at the same time he carries away the reader with such rapid flight of imagination as almost to make him giddy.”—Larousse’s Universal Dictionary.
NEW EDITION OF HIGGINS’ GREAT WORK.
The Anacalypsis;
An attempt to draw aside the Veil of the Saïtic Isis; or, an Inquiry into the Origin of Languages, Nations, and Religions. By Godfrey Higgins, Esq. Vol. I., 8vo, cloth, $4.50. To be completed in four volumes.
The extreme rarity, and consequent high price of the “Anacalypsis” has hitherto placed it beyond the reach of many scholars and students. The new edition is issued in a much more convenient form, and sold at less than one-sixth of the price of the original.
The powerful though rather dogmatic logic, and the profound learning of the author, give the work a singular importance; and in a thinking age, when many things formerly considered truths are passing away into the shadows of tradition, the student of comparative mythology and the origin of religion and languages will look upon Higgins’ Anacalypsis as his guide and luminary through the darkness of dawning science.
Serpent and Siva Worship
And Mythology in Central America, Africa, and Asia; and The Origin of Serpent Worship. Two Treatises. By Hyde Clarke and C. Staniland Wake, M.A.I. Edited by Alexander Wilder, M.D. 8vo, paper cover, 50 cents.
