Note

• "The purpose of this book is to place the Heathen Mythology in two points of view; first, as it would have struck a Traveller in Greece, who wished to form a just conception of the Religion of the Country, free from either favour or prejudice; secondly, regarding Mythology as the introduction and hand-maid to the study of Poetry, the Author has endeavoured to feel his subject in the spirit of the Poet, and to communicate that feeling to others."
• Edward Baldwin = William Godwin.
• Printer's imprint: "London: Printed by Thomas Davison, Whitefriars."
• Dedication: "To the Rev. Matthew Raine, D.D., master of the Charter-House School ..."
