See Virchow in the _Monatsbericht der königl. preuss. Akademie der Wissenschaften_, January 1875, p. 11. Footnote 14: _Origin of Civilisation_, 3rd ed., p. 330, quoting Sibree’s _Madagascar and its People_, p. 396. Footnote 15: _Einleitung in die Philosophie der Mythologie_, pp. 62, 63. This is the idea to which Max Müller refers in noticing the lectures of the philosopher of Berlin, in his _Introduction to the Science of Religion_, p. 145. Footnote 16: See his _Populäre Aufsätze aus dem Alterthum, vorzugsweise zur Ethik und Religion der Griechen_, second edition, Leipzig 1875, especially p. 272 _et seq._ Footnote 17: Flach, _Das System der Hesiod. Kosmogonie_, Leipzig 1874; see _Literar. Centralblatt_, 1875, no. 7. Footnote 18: _Rude Stone Monuments in all Countries_, p. 32, note 2. Footnote 19: _The Chaldean Account of Genesis_, p. 302. Footnote 20: Sayce in the _Academy_, 1875, p. 586. Footnote 21: The _Academy_, 1875, no. 184, p. 496. The promoters of the _Theological Translation Fund_, by whom Kuenen’s _Religion of Israel_ was published, Dr. J. Muir of Edinburgh, who wrote some letters to the _Scotsman_ on the Dutch Theology, and to a certain extent Bishop Colenso, besides many others who have not avowed their views so publicly, indicate the progress of opinion in England.—TR. Footnote 22: See _Literar. Centralblatt_, 1875, no. 49, p. 157. Footnote 23: _Biblische Mythologie des Alten und Neuen Testaments_, 2 vols., Stuttgart 1842; _Etymologisch-symbolisch-mythologisches Realwörterbuch für Bibelforscher, Archäologen und bildende Künstler_, 4 vols., Stuttgart 1843–5. Footnote 24: I have not succeeded in obtaining a sight of Schwenk’s _Mythologie der Semiten_, published in 1849; but Bunsen’s condemnation of it in _Egypt’s Place in Universal History_, IV. p. 363, made me less anxious to get it. Footnote 25: _Naturgeschichte der Sage. Rückführung aller religiösen Ideen, Sagen, Systeme auf ihren gemeinsamen Stammbaum und ihre letzte Wurzel_, 2 vols., Munich 1864–5. Footnote 26: In Vol. II. of his _Zeitschrift für Völkerpsychologie und Sprachwissenschaft_, translated and appended to this volume. Footnote 27: _Der Semitismus_, in _Zeitsch. für Völkerpsychologie etc._, 1875, VIII. 339–340. Footnote 28: It would be unfair not to mention the Dutch Professor Tiele as a worker on this field. In his _Vergelijkende Geschiedenis der oude godsdiensten_, Vol. I.: _De egyptische en mesopotamische godsdiensten_ (Amsterdam 1872) he has occasionally inserted explanations of Hebrew myths, to which I have referred at the proper places.
