London: Printed for Thomas Whitaker at the Kings Arms ..., 1648. [12],2,418,[34]pp. Octavo. Frontis (attributed to William Faithorne). Contemporary paneled calf, rebacked in sympathetic style some decades ago, frontis mounted and a bit soiled, clean tear in upper edge of title mended on verso; occasional early ink annotations and stray, small ink drops; stubs of once tipped in ms. leaf in one margin; joints rubbed (but sound); a good copy. Second edition, first published the previous year. The present copy exhibits a variant imprint from that recorded in Wing and ESTC (without the printer's initials). A semblance of a dictionary of mythology by the prolific Scottish vicar and controversialist, including an abstract of the original myth followed by Ross's interpretation of it. Ross is remembered for his criticisms of Hobbes, Browne, Digby and Harvey, and for having prepared, based on Sieur Du Ryer's French text, the first, albeit flawed, translation into English of the QUR'AN. ESTC R1748. WING R1964.

Known primarily as the grandfather of Perseus, Acrisius was also the king of Argos. And while little has been written on King Acrisius, English author William Morris wrote a collection of classical myths and legends entitled 'The Earthly Paradise'. The story of Acrisius was included in this anthology and was published as a standalone work.
This 1902 edition of Morris' 'Doom of King Acrisius' was published in New York with impressive pseudo-erotic illustrations by Edward Burne-Jones.

Description:
1831 Traditions of Lancashire Pendle WITCHES Witchcraft Mab's Cross John DeeJohn Roby's "Traditions of Lancashire" is a 19th-century study in English folklore. Originally published in 1829, this work offers stories of folk tales most of which were only ever available through the 'oral tradition'. In fact, Roby claimed to be a collector of oral folk tales and published them under this title. From the first edition:
"It was Roby's object to perpetuate these interesting relics of the past, and to present them in a form that may be generally acceptable."
The book was popular throughout England in the 19th-century, as readers craved learning of local legends and mythologies. Note the impressive full-page engravings included in this 1831 edition, second series.
