Book Description
Excerpt from The Grammar of the Lotus, a New History of Classic Ornament as a Development of Sun Worship, With Observations on the Bronze Culture of Prehistoric Europe, as Derived From Egypt: Based on the Study of Patterns The first man of science who ever saw the original cartoons of the Plates which carry the argument of my Work, is the man of science who offered, of his own motion, to read and revise my proofs. There are some students who have written books, and some students who have not written books, who will understand what this gentleman has done for me after they have glanced through the volume; although he does not stand committed in any way to my views by this action. There must be something in the genial and kindly nature of this man of science which makes him a victim of the Preface. I have observed that an enormous number of scientific works contain acknowledgments to Professor Reginald Stuart Poole. He shall not escape my Preface; there are none which owe him more. I have had from him the assistance of an Egyptologist and hieroglyphic scholar, of an Orientalist, and of a historian trained by the study Of coins - the only study which suggests a knowledge of all art and of all history. Finally, I owe to my American friends the gratitude which goes out to every warm heart and every helping hand. Among these are my own brother and a lady who shall be nameless.

The Swastika, the Earliest Known Symbol, and Its Migration
Author: Thomas WilsonPublisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
The author of the work derives the origins of what we know as a swastika symbol from the earliest cultures. He studies its origins in the ancient shapes of a cross and brings the comparison of different types of cross symbols, which later evolved in the swastika. Further, the author examines the role of the swastika in the extreme Orient (Japan, Korea, China, and Tibet), the classical Orient (Babylonia, Assyria, Chaldea, and Persia, Phenicia, Lycaonia, Armenia, Caucasus, and Asia Minor - including Troy and mentioning Schliemann), Africa (Egypt, Algeria, Ashantee), classical Occident (Mediterranean - Greece, Cyprus, Rhodes, Milos, and Thera), Europe (the Bronze Age, the Gallo-Roman period, the Anglo-Saxon period, and the swastika on ancient coins), the United States of America (in pre-Columbian times, among the North American Indians, and a "colonial patchwork"), Central America (Nicaragua, Yucatan, and Costa Rica), and South America (Brazil and Paraguay). He shows various artifacts associated with the swastika, including spindle-whorls, coins, vases, and idols. The author also notes the importance of this symbol among both the ancient Buddhists and Hindus. It is generally a very deep and interesting study showing the universalism of the swastika symbol in different cultures of the world.
