Note 2 — INTRODUCTION.

Both in England and in France the attempt has been made with much taste to introduce the results of comparative mythology in the instruction of youth; in England by Rev. G.W. Cox in his Tales of the Gods and Heroes, Tales of Thebes and Argos, Tales from Greek Mythology, Manual of Mythology in the form of question and answer, 1867, and Tales of Ancient Greece, 1870, the last two of which have just been translated into Hungarian, and published by the Franklin Society; in France by Baudry and Delerot (Paris 1872). Still more recently the results of comparative mythology have also been summarised in two excellent books for children by Edward Clodd, The Childhood of the World: a simple account of Man in Early Times, 1873, and The Childhood of Religion; embracing a simple account of the birth and growth of Myths and Legends, 1875.
