"We regard the 'Hero Myths' as a valuable contribution to the history of
religion and to comparative mythology."--_The Teacher_ (Philadelphia). "...These few extracts give no idea of the mass of legends in this volume, and the queer, out-of-the-way information it supplies concerning the ideas and usages of races now extinct or hastening to extinction."--_The Dublin Evening Mail_. "Dr. Brinton, in his 'American Hero-Myths,' has applied the comparative method soberly, and backed it by solid research in the original authors."--_The Critic_ (New York). ABORIGINAL AMERICAN AUTHORS, AND THEIR PRODUCTIONS. Especially those in the Native Languages. A Contribution to the History of Literature. By DANIEL G. BRINTON, A.M., M.D., etc. 1 vol., 8vo, pp. 63. Boards. Price, $1.00. An essay founded on an address presented to the Congress of Americanists, at Copenhagen, in 1883. It is an extended review of the literary efforts of the red race, in their own tongues, and in English, Latin and Spanish (both manuscript and printed). An entirely novel field of inquiry is opened to view, of equal interest to ethnologists, linguists and historians. |
