But, if all this is not conspicuously apparent in our adversary's book, it does not become me to throw the first stone. We are all, in fact, inclined unconsciously to overlook what makes against our argument. I have done it; and, to the best of my belief, Mr. Max Muller has not avoided the same error. Mannhardt's Attitude
What we think they are not shown to arise from is forgetfulness of meanings of old words, which, ex hypothesi, have become proper names. But 'the scalded child dreads cold water, and Mullenhoff apparently dreaded even real solar myths. Mr. Mannhardt's Final Confession
The letters of Mannhardt, cited in proof of his exact agreement with Mr. Possibly 'philology' is here a slip of the pen, and 'mythology' may be meant. Had Mannhardt quite cashiered 'the corn-spirit, who, perhaps, had previously threatened to 'become everything'? He is still in great vigour, in Mr. Frazer's Golden Bough, and Mr. Frazer is Mannhardt's disciple.
Max Muller has somewhere remarked that I popularise Mannhardt's ideas. Naturally he could not guess that the coincidence was accidental and also inevitable. Two men, unknown to each other, were using the same method on the same facts. Mannhardt's Return to his old Colours If, then, Mannhardt was re-converted, it would be a potent argument for my conversion.
Tiele 'rather as an ally than an adversary, the reason being his own statement. Presently, I replied to Prof. Tiele's criticism of my treatment of the myth of Cronos. After a skirmish on Italian fields, I gave my reasons for disagreeing with Mr. Max Muller's view of Mannhardt's position. His theory of Demeter Erinnys was contrasted with that of Mr. Max Muller.
Frazer, Mannhardt's disciple, is very severe on solar theories of Osiris, and connects that god with the corn- spirit. But Mannhardt did not go so far. Mannhardt thought that the myth of Osiris was solar. To my thinking, these resolutions of myths into this or that original source solar, nocturnal, vegetable, or what not are often very perilous.
Frazer applies Mannhardt's rich lore to the explanation of Greek and other rites in The Golden Bough, that entrancing book. Mr.
Max Muller, that he cites Mannhardt's letters to prove the fact. But as to the application to myth of the principles of comparative philology, Mannhardt speaks of 'the lack of the historical sense' displayed in the practical employment of the method. This, at least, is 'not exactly' Mr. Max Muller's own view. Probably he refers to the later period when Mannhardt 'returned to his old colours.
