XXX NOTES. 



chief part is by no meaus to be ascribed to the results of actual experience, 

 invested by credulity and the love of the marvellous, with a fabulous appear- 

 ance, (as is supposed to have been particularly the case in the maritime legends 

 of the Phoenician sailors) ; we should, on the contrary, seek the bases of the 

 imaginary picture rather in certain ideal presuppositions and requirements of 

 the feelings, on which a tn^ geographical knowledge has only gradually 

 begun to work. From this there has often resulted the interesting phenome- 

 non, that purely subjective creations of a fancy working under the guidance 

 of certain ideas, pass almost imperceptibly into real countries, and well- 

 known objects of scientific geography. We may infer from these considera- 

 tions, that all pictures of the imagination, either mythical or arrayed in 

 mythical forms, belong, in their proper groundwork, to an ideal world, and 

 have no original connexion with the actual extension of the knowledge of the 

 earth, or of navigation beyond the pillars of Hercules." The opinion ex- 

 pressed by me in the French work was more accordant with the earlier views 

 of Otfried Miiller, for in the Prolegomenon zu einer wissenschaftlichen My- 

 thologie, S. 68 and 109, he said very distinctly, that, "in mythical narra- 

 tives, what is done and what is imagined, the real and the ideal, are most 

 often closely combined with each other." Compare also, on the Atlantis and 

 Lyktonia, Martin, Etudes sur le Timee de Platon, T. i. p. 293326.)
