[183.3] I have only space to make a summary reference here to the very noteworthy collection of Peruvian prayers preserved by De Molina, Fables and Rites of the Yncas, p. 28, etc., 38, 56: they have all the character of pure prayer, and occasionally reach a high spiritual level: the only appearance of magic is in the sacrifice that accompanies the singular petition “that the Creator and the sun may remain ever young.”
