Excerpt from A Sketch of Semitic Origins Social and ReligiousThe studies which have culminated in this volume have occupied much of my attention for the past eleven years, and have previously led to the publication of sev eral articles. In the autumn of 1898, while giving a course of lectures on Semitic religion, the various parts of the subject grouped themselves so coherently in my mind that I could no longer doubt that these studies had led me to the discovery of the path trodden by the Semites in the journey from savagery to civilization, in the course of which the most characteristic features of their social and religious life were created. Since then the details have been worked out with as much care as the complex duties which attach to a very comprehensive chair would permit, and are here submitted to scholars.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
