At the Stockholm Congress in 1874 de Mortillet advanced the theory that megalithic monuments in different districts were due to different peoples, and that what spread was the custom of building such structures and not the builders themselves. This theory has been accepted by most archæologists, including Montelius, Salomon Reinach, Sophus Müller, Hoernes, and Déchelette.
See Orpheus by S. Reinach, p. 3. As would be gathered from what I have just said, there is found among all the more primitive peoples, and in all parts of the world, an immense variety of totem-names. The Dinkas, for instance, are a rather intelligent well-grown people inhabiting the upper reaches of the Nile in the vicinity of the great swamps. According to Dr.
A careful study has been made of it by Salamon Reinach in his Cultes, Mythes et Religions, where he formulates his conclusions in twelve statements or definitions; but even so though his suggestions are helpful he throws very little light on the real origin of the system. The French original is in three large volumes.
The reader will perhaps now suppose that we must attribute the "flying gallop" to the original, if inaccurate genius of an eighteenth century English horse-painter. That, however, is not the case. M. Reinach has shown that it has a much more extraordinary history. Europe never received it, nor did the Assyrians nor the Egyptians.
It was the spirit of the "Marseillaise," says M. Reinach again it was the French soul l'ame française the soul of country and of freedom, which triumphed here. And not for France alone.
While assuring the French deputy, M. Joseph Reinach, of his attachment to France and signing himself the European, he was writing to Professor Walter of Budapest offering "all the sympathies of the Bulgarian nation" to Hungary.
"Have I ever told you the story of compulsory Greek at Oxford and Cambridge?" I asked abruptly. "What has that to do with it?" "Or how two undistinguished civil service commissioners can hold up the scientific education of our entire administrative class?" M. Reinach protested further.
Two of Marak's moons could be seen out the window climbing swiftly over the peaks. "You turned the house," said Orne. "We like the moonrise," said Polly. "It seems more romantic, don't you think?" She glanced at Diana. Diana looked down at her plate. She was wearing a low-cut gown of firemesh that set off her red hair. A single strand of Reinach pearls gleamed at her throat.
An illustrious French statesman, a man of the finest culture in historical study, Joseph Reinach, said to me: After your article I have re-read Dion and Plutarch. It is indeed singular that for twenty centuries men have read and reread those pages without any one's realising how confused and absurd their accounts are.
Those achievements are not merely noteworthy in themselves, they are ominously symptomatic. A German professor, writing to a friend imprisoned in France, commented in passing upon these qualifications of his countrymen in a letter which M. Joseph Reinach soon afterwards gave to the public. One passage in that document is worth quoting.
