''A Dissertation On The Primary Objects Of Idolatrous Worship'' is a book written by Samuel Roffey Maitland and published in 1817. The book is an attempt to uncover the truth about the objects of idolatrous worship and to separate fact from fiction. Maitland argues that many of the traditional beliefs about idolatry are based on fables and myths, and he seeks to provide a more accurate understanding of the subject.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of idolatrous worship. Maitland begins by discussing the origins of idolatry and the various forms it has taken throughout history. He then goes on to examine the primary objects of idolatrous worship, such as statues, images, and symbols, and the meanings and significance that have been attributed to them.Throughout the book, Maitland draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, historical accounts, and archaeological evidence, to support his arguments. He also provides his own analysis and interpretation of the material, offering insights into the beliefs and practices of different cultures and societies.Overall, ''A Dissertation On The Primary Objects Of Idolatrous Worship'' is a scholarly and informative book that sheds light on a complex and fascinating subject. It is recommended for anyone interested in the history of religion, anthropology, or cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
