Excerpt from The New Pantheon, or an Introduction to the Mythology of the Ancients, in Question and Answer: Compiled for the Use of Young Persons; To Which Are Added, an Accentuated Index, Questions for Exercise, and Poetical Illustrations of Grecian Mythology, From Homer and Virgil IN poetry and works of elegant litera ture allusions are so frequently made to the Mythology of the Antients, as to render it desirable that young persons should acquire some knowledge of that subject yet few of the sources whence information of this kind can be derived, are sufficiently pure to meet the eye of innocence. Before the glorious splendour of truth beamed forth from the Gospel of Christ, upon the darkened world, the pollutions of licentiousness were inter mingled even with religious rites and compositions.
