First sentence: THE imposition on the Western World of a book composed of mythical history, artificial god-names, Hindoo fables, and naturalistic superstitions founded on combinations of the names of the sex organs, as representing the eternal succession of life, and written in symbolical letters, representing gods, kings, patriarchs, and priests, said to have been communicated by a god to man, were the means by which Rome hoped to consolidate her conquests-no longer tenable by force of arms.
