A New System; or, an Analysis of Antient Mythology. Volume 1 (of 6)

The work aims to strip traditional myths of later fable and recover their original cores by tracing names, titles, and stories through comparative etymology and antiquarian inquiry. It assembles essays that analyze deity epithets, linguistic roots, coins, inscriptions, and ancient chronicles, arguing that many mythic narratives grew out of distorted memories of historical peoples and events. Structured as systematic volumes, the study combines linguistic argument, material evidence, and scriptural cross-reference to propose origins for recurring mythic motifs and to reconcile them with coherent religious and historical interpretations.
