The Trinities of the Ancients: Or the Mythology of the First Ages, and the Writings of Some of the Pythagorean and Other Schools, Examined, With ... Other Ancient Philosophers (Classic Reprint)

There is no one to whom I can more appropriately dedicate the following pages than to yourself; not only on account of a community of tastes, sentiments, and opinions, but as a token of ancient friendship; and because the subject to which they are devoted has been one of mutual interest, which we have frequently discussed together, in those hours of rational relaxation for wdiich I am so greatly indebted to you. You were then inclined, as I was, to regard the opinion attributing toP lato a knowledge of the Trinity with considerable distrust and suspicion; and when afterwards you turned your attention to other objects, I proceeded, in the indulgence of my inclination, to prosecute an inquiry into the evidence on which that opinion is supposed to rest. This volume contains the result of the inquiry, so far as I thought necessary to pursue it.
