Dr. Theol., Professor of the History of Religions in the University of Leiden.
Translated from the Dutch by J. Estlin Carpenter, M.A.
“Few books of its size contain the result of so much wide thinking, able and laborious study, or enable the reader to gain a better bird’s-eye view of the latest results of investigations into the religious history of nations.... These pages, full of information, these sentences, cut and perhaps also dry, short and clear, condense the fruits of long and thorough research.”—Scotsman.
