1874, p. 198. [62-1] The most recent work on the topic is that of Messrs. Westropp and Wake, _The Influence of the Phallic Idea on the Religions of Antiquity_, London, 1874. [63-1] Schoolcraft's _History and Statistics of the Indian Tribes_, Vol. iv. p. 224. [63-2] Richardson, _Arctic Expedition_, p. 412. [63-3] Most physicians have occasion to notice the almost entire loss in modern life of the instinctive knowledge of the sex relation. Sir James Paget has lately treated of the subject in one of his _Clinical Lectures_ (London, 1875). [64-1] Dr. J. P. Catlow, _Principles of Aesthetic Medicine_, p. 112. This thoughtful though obscure writer has received little recognition even in the circle of professional readers. [66-1] This is probably what was condemned in Deuteronomy xxii. 5, and Romans, i. 26. [66-2] "The worship of Siva is too severe, too stern for the softer emotions of love, and all his temples are quite free from any allusions to it."--Ferguson, _Tree and Serpent Worship_, p. 71. [67-1] W. von Humboldt, in his admirable essay _Ueber die Maennliche und Weibliche Form_ (_Werke, Bd. I._). Elsewhere he adds: "In der Natur des Goettlichen strebt alles der Reinheit und Vollkommenheit des Gattungsbegriff entgegen." [68-1] I have collected the Haitian myths, chiefly from the manuscript _Historia Apologetica de las Indias Occidentales_ of Las Casas, in an essay published in 1871, _The Arawack Language of Guiana in its Linguistic and Ethnological Relations_. [71-1] _The Koran_, Suras,[TN-5] cxii., lxii., and especially xix. [73-1] _Elements of Medical Psychology_, p. 281. [73-2] J. Thompson Dickson, _The Science and Practice of Medicine in relation to Mind_, p. 383 (New York, 1874). [76-1] Dr. Joseph Williams, _Insanity, its Causes, Prevention and Cure_, pp. 68, 69; Dr. A. L. Wigan, _The Duality of the Mind_, p. 437. [78-1] _The Myths of the New World, a Treatise on the Symbolism and Mythology of the Red Race of America_, p. 145. [81-1] _Leviathan, De Homine_, cap. xii. [82-1] For instance, of later writers from whom we might expect better things, Arthur Schopenhauer. He says in his _Parerga_ (Bd. ii. s. 290): "Ein gewisser Grad allgemeiner Unwissenheit ist die Bedingung aller Religionen;" a correct remark, and equally correct of the pursuit of science and philosophy.
