A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This little brochure is a contribution, howevei humble, to the science of psychology; not merely a notice of curious, still less of idle, fancies. The study of man to be successful must commence with his| earlier, that is to say, simpler, phases. The solar mytli, vaguely so called, is often ridiculed but never by anyone who has carefully examined it; and the history of theL ion and the Unicorn exhibits one aspect of the ideas ofT ime and Kosmio Order as shown in the most obvious divisions of period Day and Night. The indirect influence of our present civiU zation and the repetition of phenomena produce a sadly deadening eflect upon the vast majority of minds as regards appreciation of the external world, and render it extremely difficult for us to place ourselves near the mental standpoint of primitive, or even of arcliaic, man.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
