Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unicorn: A Mythological Investigation is a charming 19th-century look at one of the most beautiful, magical, and mysterious mystical creatures to have been researched: the unicorn. Part cryptozoology booklet and part history lesson, The Unicorn explores the history of the unicorn in mythology and art, compares the unicorn to other mythological and common creatures, such as the Medusa and the lion, studies the relationship between the unicorn and the moon, and offers opinions as to the terrestrial existence of unicorns. Part of the Loren Coleman Presents series for Cosimo Classics, The Unicorn is an exciting, interesting read for anyone interested in mythology, cryptozoology, and history. ROBERT BROWN, JR. (1844-1912) was an English Solicitor in Barton-on-Humber, as well as a locally-known writer on archaic religion, mythology, and astronomy. He was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, a Member of the Society of Biblical Archaeology, and a Member of the Royal Astronomical Society, demonstrating an interest in nontraditional subjects. His many books include titles such as Poseidon: a Link between Semite, Hamite, and Aryan (1872); The Religion of Zoroaster, Considered in Connection with Archaic Monotheism (1879); The Law of Kosmic Order (1882); and The Myth of Kirke (1883). Brown lived his entire adult life at Priestgate House, Barton-on-Humber, and died at the age of 68 years in 1912. A short obituary appeared in Nature, Vol. 90, 1913, pp. 227; and in the Annual Register, 1913, p. 123.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unicorn: A Mythological Investigation was first published in 1881. It covers some of the same ground as the more popularly oriented Lore of the Unicorn, by Odell Shepard, before it ventures into comparative mythology. The present volume was written in the late 19th century at a time when all mythological and folklore narratives were believed to be astronomical metaphors. Brown sees the Unicorn as a lunar symbol, and draws on mythology from a wide range of sources to make his case, from Northern European to Vedic and Zoroastrian.

Download or read book Mythical Monsters written by Charles Gould and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A geological surveyor by trade, English author CHARLES GOULD (1834-1893) was rather more interested in the strange ornithological specimens he collected on his journeys around the world. Mythical Monsters, the result of this deep and abiding fascination, is one of the classics of the field of cryptozoology, or the study of unknown or hidden creatures. Mythical Monsters "reflects the curiosity for the natural world that [Gould] carried with him in his travels for most of his life," says cryptozoologist Loren Coleman in his new introduction. "The book, naturally, dwells on geological mysteries early in its pages, merging in his thoughts on Atlantis, the Great Flood, and evidence for such events he saw written in the land. But the bulk of the book is about 'monsters' that intrigued Gould, including the unicorn, the phoenix, and the dragon." Monsters also features an essential section on the mysterious beasts of the ocean depths. This new edition, a replica of the original 1886 first edition complete with the original illustrations, is part of Cosimo's Loren Coleman Presents series. LOREN COLEMAN is author of numerous books of cryptozoology, including Bigfoot!: The True Story of Apes in America and Mothman and Other Curious Encounters.
