To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The cones of the fir-tree were employed in the mysteries of Cybele, where even the priests were the first to indulge in the un- bounded licentiousness and obscenities which prevailed in this festival.
The cones of the fir-tree were also offered up to Bacchus, and were likewise to be seen on the altars of ^Esculapius.
Most of the temples of antiquity had their sacred groves or forests attached to them, where those abominable rites were often cele- brated with the most horrible indecencies and te...rrible sacrifices. Cinnis, or Cercyon, was surnamed the bender of pines, because he tied his victims to the tops of two pines, which he bent down, and which, when he suf- fered them to rise again, tore the unfortunate wretch to pieces.
