Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cults of the Greek States, Vol. 5 of 5
I feel, what every reader must, I fear, also feel, that a work of this length, so preoccupied with detail, ought to be concluded and clarified by a succinct summary of the main features and general phenomena of Greek polytheism; and it was my intention to have added one. But I was obliged to relinquish it, as the last volume has come to be disproportionately long. But I can refer the reader to my general article on Greek Religion' in the new edition of the Times' Encyclo pam'ia, and to my published Inaugural Lecture which I delivered in the earlier part of this year as Wilde Lecturer.
