This work has a valuable bibliography which will be of the greatest use and value to the student of Ancient Faiths. It contains references to nearly five hundred works on Phallism and kindred subjects.
FISHES, FLOWERS, AND FIRE as Elements and Deities in the Phallic Faiths and Worship of the Ancient Religions of Greece, Babylon, Rome, India, etc., with illustrative Myths and Legends.
ARCHAIC ROCK INSCRIPTIONS; an Account of the Cup and Ring Marking on the Sculptural Stones of the Old and New Worlds.
This subject, though comparatively a new one, and upon which a very limited amount of literature has been written, has excited considerable curiosity among its discoverers. These strange figures and marks bear the same resemblance whether found in England, Ireland, Scotland, India, Mexico, Brazil, North America, Sweden, etc. Probably the cup and ring markings were connected with the religious mysteries surrounding the worship of Baal. They are asserted on good authority to be Phallic Symbols, which subject the author has treated of in the present work.
