Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Legend of Perseus, Vol. 1: A Study of Tradition in Story, Custom and Belief; The Supernatural Birth
I am deeply sensible of the difficulties Of the task I have undertaken, and of the very imperfect way in which I have hitherto performed it. Unfortunately, I cannot hope to succeed better in that portion which has yet to be laid before the reader. All I can hope is that I may have exhibited, however inadequately (if further exhibition were needful), the advantage for psychological purposes of re search into the ideas and the usages of uncultured peoples and Of the less cultured classes in civilised communities.
