[Footnote 22: Compare: "And Samuel said unto Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me?" (I Sam. xxviii. l5)] [Footnote 23: Turner, _Nineteen Years in Polynesia,_ p. 238.] [Footnote 24: See Lippert's excellent remarks on this subject, _Der Seelencult,_ p. 89.] [Footnote 25: _Sciography_ has the authority of Cudworth, _Intellectual System,_ vol. ii. p. 836. Sciomancy [Greek], which, in the sense of divination by ghosts, may be found in Bailey's _Dictionary_ (1751: also furnishes a precedent for my coinage.] [Footnote 26: "Kami" is used in the sense of Elohim; and is also, like our word "Lord," employed as a title of respect among men, as indeed Elohim was.] [Footnote 27: [The Assyrians thus raised Assur to a position of pre-eminence.]] [Footnote 28: I refer those who wish to know the reasons which lead me to take up this position to the works of Reuss and Wellhausen, [and especially to Stade's _Geschichte des Volkes Israel._]] [Footnote 29: Bunsen. _Egypt's Place,_ vol. v. p.129, note.] [Footnote 30: See Birch, in _Egypt's Place,_ vol. v; and Brugsch, _History of Egypt._] [Footnote 31: Even by Graetz, who, though a fair enough historian, cannot be accused of any desire to over-estimate the importance of Egyptian influence upon his people.] [Footnote 32: Graetz, _Geschichte der Juden,_ Bd. i. p. 370.] [Footnote 33: See the careful analsyis of the work of the Alexandrian philosopher and theologian (who, it should be remembered, was a most devout Jew, held in the highest esteem by his countrymen) in Siegfried's _Philo von Alexandrien,_ 1875. (Also Dr. J. Drummond's _Philo Judaeus,_ 1888.)] [Footnote 34: I am not unaware of the existence of many and widely divergent sects and schools among the Jews at all periods of their history, since the dispersion. But I imagine that orthodox Judaism is now pretty much what it was in Philo's time; while Peter and Paul, if they could return to life, would certainly have to learn the catechism of either the Roman, Greek, or Anglican Churches, if they desired to be considered orthodox Christians.] [Footnote 35: Dante's description of Lucifer engaged in the eternal mastication of Brutus, Cassius, and Judas Iscariot-- "Da ogni bocca dirompea co' denti Un peccatore, a guisa di maciulla, Si che tre ne facea così dolenti. A quel dinanzi il mordere era nulla, Verso 'l graffiar, che tal volta la schiena Rimanea della pelle tutta brulla"-- is quite in harmony with the Pisan picture and perfectly Polynesian in conception.]
