Excerpt from The Pantheon, or Fabulous History of the Heathen Gods, Goddesses, Heroes, &C
We have here no design to raise the reputation of this work, by depreciating the many others that have already been published on this subject; it is sufficient for us to fay, that we have followed a plan entirely new, and, at the fame time, such an one as appeared to us much more useful, more rational, and less dry than any that has gone before it.
As all works of this kind must necessarily consist of materials collected from other authors, no ex pence, no labour has been spared; the mod celebrated works on this subject have been consulted and compared with each other, and it has frequently happened, that scattered hints, widely dispersed, have served to clear up the moll difficult and intricate meanings, to a degree of demonstration; but amongst all the authors to which we have had recourse, we must here particularly acknowledge the great advantage we have received from that ingenious gentleman, the Abbe Pluche, in his history of the heavens.
