Some of the happiest illustrations of this are made by Mr. Foster in his amusing and really informing essay on Nature Myths inN ursery Rhymes, reprinted in Leisure Studies, an essay which it seems the immaculate critics took au sirieux IW ith a little exercise of ones invention, given also ability to parody, it will be found that many noted events, as well as the lives of the chief actors in them, yield results comforting to the solar mythologists.
