A New System or An Analysis of Ancient Mythology by Jacob Bryant – 3 Volume Set Second Edition 1775<br /> Author: Jacob Bryant<br /> Publisher: London: Printed for T. Payne P. Elmsly B. White and J.

In this highly influential 18th-century work Bryant attempted to trace the mythologies and traditions of ancient civilizations—including the Greeks Romans Egyptians and Babylonians—back to a common origin heavily linking them to the events of Genesis and the dispersal of nations following the Tower of Babel.<br /> This set is profusely illustrated with 32 striking copperplate engravings including detailed folding maps ancient coins architectural ruins and intricate depictions of mythological figures and symbols such as serpents and temple rites. Notably the renowned artist and poet William Blake was an apprentice to James Basire the principal engraver for this work and scholars frequently attribute several of the engravings in this edition to a young Blake.<br /> The set is masterfully bound in pristine full tan leather. The spines feature classic raised bands with contrasting dual black morocco labels elegantly tooled with gilt lettering indicating the title "BRYANT'S MYTHOLOGY" and volume numbers. The text blocks are solid and the pages remain wonderfully crisp pages with some light sporadic foxing pages overall are bright and clean showcasing the impressive typography and detailed plates that make this work so desirable.<br /> The immaculate condition of the binding makes this a stunning presentation piece perfect for an advanced collector of mythology early anthropology or 18th-century antiquarian works.
