Budge, E.A. Wallis. BABYLONIAN LIFE AND HISTORY.
London: Religious Tract Society, 1925. Second edition, rewritten throughout and enlarged.
Name on front end paper; private collector's number on spine; free of marking; VERY GOOD+ or better cloth volume. With eleven plates and twenty two illustrations in the text. 296 pages. Small octavo. Budge was asked by the publisher to revise the book which had originally been issued in 1884 and his reply: I soon came to the conclusion that no revision would bring the book up to date, or even make a passable job of it. I therefore reported to him that the book must be rewritten and, of course, enlarged. To this he agreed, and the present volume is the result.

Caine, Mary. CELTIC SAINTS AND GLASTONBURY ZODIAC.
England: Capall Bann Publishing 1861630220 PAPER
Much pre-Christian solar and lunar myth appears in these tales, and from her long study of the Glastonbury Zodiac, Caine has found many parallels to its figures embedded in these tales. The Zodiac is after all the path of both sun and moon in the sky. Katherine Maltwood, who found this Temple of the Stars in the Vale of Avalon, was convinced that it is the original Round Table, with Arthur himself and his chief knights still seated upon it, long forgotten, as the signs of the Zodiac. More, that this mysterious great circle is the fount and origin of all Arthurian and Grail myth. The mediaeval Grail-questing knights were not only seeking themselves in the ancient astrological system of psychology - they were searching too for the effigies on the ground, by their time long lost through successive invasions and only dimly remembered in Celtic poems and folk-lore. Arthur appears in several saint's lives and is related to some of them, and as the ancient Abbey of Glastonbury not only claims his grave, but also to be the first center of Celtic Christianity in Britain, perhaps it is not surprising to find traces of more primeval Mysteries shining through the lives of these early saints.

Cargill, Lieutenant-Colonel S.T. THE PHILOSOPHY OF ANALOGY AND SYMBOLISM.
London: Rider, circa 1945-50.
A Very Good+ cloth copy. A difficult to categorize work. Definitely, mysticism and mathematics take the author's fancy, but with such chapter titles as THE FUNDAMENTAL PROCESSES AS ILLUSTRATED BY THE GRAECO-LATIN GODS AND THE SOLAR SYSTEM, he does have much to say. A work reminiscent of the 19th century solitary scholar, but among the verbage, there are a number of real bits of esoteric lore and history.
