| Publisher Description: 1851. This volume represents No. 1 of the American Archeological Researches series. The points in which the author attempts in some degree to illustrate in the following pages, are the essential identity of some of the elementary religious conceptions of the primitive nations of the Old and New Worlds, and the similarity in their modes of expressing them, or rather the similarity in their symbolical system, of which Mr. Squier regards as the machinery of creation, the multiplication of gods, and the investing of them with attributes, as parts.
