The study of mythology seems to be nearly abandoned among us except as a trifling matter of school routine. We value ourselves on knowledge of facts, and parade our indifference for fables. Yet this is affecting a superiority to winch we have little right. Certainly if it were in our power to reach pure truth, fable might cease to interest us, except as an angel may be supposed to take a pitying interest in human frivolities. But fiction is not peculiar to antiquity; it is as inseparable from human thought as shadow from substance. Nature knows no breaks or harsh distinctions. The classes, æras, &c., into which we separate her varieties arc little more than convenient resting-places for the mind in the round of imperceptible gradation, not ultimate facts. No contrasts appear greater than those of past and present, fact and fiction, faith and knowledge, mythology and philosophy.
