" The Ancient Mystery Cults " is too big a subject for thorough treatment in a single paper. What I have to say will, therefore, be rather by way of a general introduction which may help others to take up and follow one or other of the many lines of investigation that may be suggested.
The subject really belongs to the " Comparative Study of Religion," usually but inaccurately styled Comparative Religion."
It also forms a branch of Anthropology, and provides data for Ethnology and Philosophy, and has much to do also with the study of literature.
