The Mystical Hymns of Orpheus (Classic Reprint)

In the Advertisement prefixed to the recent edition ofT homas Taylor stranslation of lamblichus on theM ysteries of theE gyptians c., it was promised that other ofT aylor stranslations should be reprinted if due encouragement were given to the enterprise. That work having met with a fair measure of success the publishers, in fulfilment of their promise, have undertaken the present reprint, which they hope will not be less welcome than the former. The Mystical I nitiations; or. Hymns ofO rpheus, as the work was originally called, was first published in 1787. A second edition, with considerable emendations, alterations, and additions, was published in 1824. Of this second edition the present reprint (being the third issue of the work) is an almost exact facsimile. The original was printed at the Chiswick Press, and is a fine specimen of the work of that excellent establishment. It is hoped that the present edition will.
