  • A Primer of Mayan Hieroglyphics

    by Daniel Garrison Brinton ...
    One and the same hieroglyphic system is found on remains from Yucatan, Tabasco, Chiapas, Guatemala, and Western Honduras; in other words, in all Central American regions occupied at the Conquest by tribes of the Mayan linguistic stock. It has not been shown to prevail among the Huastecan branch of that stock, which occupied the valley of the river Panuco, north of Vera Cruz; and, on the other hand ... Read more

  • The Myths of the New World: A Treatise on the Symbolism and Mythology of the Red Race of America

    by Daniel Garrison Brinton ...
    I have written this work more for the thoughtful general reader than the antiquary. It is a study of an obscure portion of the intellectual history of our species as exemplified in one of its varieties. What are man’s earliest ideas of a soul and a God, and of his own origin and destiny? Why do we find certain myths, such as of a creation, a flood, an after-world; certain symbols, as the bird, the ... Read more

  • Religions of Primitive Peoples

    by Daniel Garrison Brinton ...
    The youngest in the sisterhood of the sciences is that which deals with Man. In its widest scope it is called Anthropology, and as such includes both the physical and mental life of the species, from the beginning until now. That branch of it which especially concerns itself with the development of man as indicated by his advance in civilisation, is known as Ethnology. When we analyse the ... Read more

  • The Ancient Phonetic Alphabet of Yucatan

    by Daniel Garrison Brinton ...
    Most readers are quite familiar with the fact that a well-developed method of picture writing, or "didactic painting," as it has been appropriately named, prevailed through Mexico and Central America for centuries before the conquest. But that, in the latter country, there was a true phonetic alphabet, is one of the more recent discoveries of American archæology, and certainly one of the most ... Read more

  • The Religious Sentiment, Its Source and Aim: A Contribution to the Science and Philosophy of Religion

    by Daniel Garrison Brinton ...
    I express myself, says Bishop Butler, "with caution, lest I should be mistaken to vilify reason, which is, indeed, the only faculty which we have to judge concerning anything, even revelation itself; or be misunderstood to assert that a supposed revelation cannot be proved false from internal characters." "The faculty of reason," he says, "is the candle of the Lord within us against vilifying ... Read more

  • The Walam Olum

    by Daniel Garrison Brinton ...
    A compelling exploration of The Walam Olum, this book examines the purported translation of pictographs recounting the epic migration and history of the Delaware people. If authentic, it would stand as one of the rare written records from Native North America, detailing an eastward journey across the 'stone-hard water' and key historical events.However, questions surrounding the document's origins ...

  • American Hero-Myths: A Study in the Native Religions of the Western Continent

    by Daniel Garrison Brinton ...
    This little volume is a contribution to the comparative study of religions. It is an endeavor to present in a critically correct light some of the fundamental conceptions which are found in the native beliefs of the tribes of America. So little has heretofore been done in this field that it has yielded a very scanty harvest for purposes of general study. It has not yet even passed the stage where ... Read more
