Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Friedrich Max Muller (1823-1900) was a German-born philologist and orientalist known for his contributions to the study of comparative philology and the history of religions. Muller's work in linguistics and mythology has had a profound impact on the fields of language studies and religious studies. He was instrumental in establishing the discipline of comparative philology and exploring the connections between languages and cultures. Muller's research laid the foundation for modern linguistics and his insights continue to influence scholars in various disciplines.
