A New System, or, An Analysis of Ancient Mythology
by Jacob Bryant
"It is my purpose in the ensuing work to give an account of the first ages; and of the great events, which happebned in the infancy of the world. In consequence, I shall lay before the reader, what Gentile writers have said upon this subject, colaterally with the accounts given by Moses, as long as I find him engaged in the generally history of mankind."
