66 In Yucatan, as in Egypt and in Greece, the ground plan of the temples in which the mysteries were cele brated was a rectangle, This was the shape given by the Mayas to their letter m, pronounced ma," which is the contraction of "mam," "the country, "earth," and by extension, "the universe"; it is also the radical of Ma-yax, the ancient name of the Yucatan peninsula. The Mayas doubtless selected the rectangle to represent their land, since that is the geometrical figure which most accurately represents the Shape of the Yucatan peninsula, a point to which I have referred in the beginning of this article. Thus in Mayax, as in Egypt, the rectangle in hieroglyphics stands for "earth" and "universe." In Mayax too are found carved on the walls of the temples and of the palaces the same mystic symbols which were used by the initiates in all other countries; likewise inscriptions in characters which have the same meaning and value as those carved upon the ancient temples of Egypt. Here, then, are some clues, and by following them up Dr. le Plongeon claims to have traced the birthplace of all the ancient mysteries of the East to those "Lands of the West," that Land of Kui," which the Egyptians regarded as the motherland of their gods and their ancestors, and where, as they believed, their god Osiris reigned supreme over the souls.emancipated from the trammels of matter. THE TRIALS OF INITIATION. That sacred mysteries were celebrated from time immemorial in the temples of Mayax at Xibalba, Palenque (the ancient Nachan), Copan, and elsewhere in Central America, is conclusively proved by the nature of the symbols found sculptured on the walls of the temples and palaces, and also by a description of the rites and trials connected with initiation as set forth in the Popol Vuh, or sacred book of the Quiches, who were a branch of the Maya nation. This Popol Vuh is a very ancient manuscript, which Dr. le Plongeon has also translated. Here is the Doctor's account of the rites as set forth in the allegorical language of that work: The applicants for initiation to the mysteries were made to cross two rivers, one of mud, the other of blood, before they reached the four roads that led to the place where the priests awaited them. The crossing of these rivers was full of dangers that were to be avoided. Then they had to journey along the four roads, the white, the red, the green and the black, to where a council of twelve veiled priests, and a wooden statue, dressed and wearing raiments as the priests, awaited them. When in the presence of the council they were told to salute the king, and the wooden statue was pointed out to them. This was in order to try their discernment. Then they had to salute each individual, giving his name or title without being told, after which they were asked to sit down on a certain seat. If, forgetting the respect due to the august assembly, they sat as invited, they soon had reason to regret their want of good breeding, for the seat, made of stone, was burning hot. Having modestly declined the invitation, they were conducted to the "dark house," where they had to pass the night and submit to the second trial. Guards were placed all round to prevent the candidates holding intercourse with the outer world. Tuen a lighted torch of pine-wood and a cigar were given to each. These were not to be extinguished: still they had to be returned whole at sunrise when the officer of the house came to demand them. Woe to him who allowed his torch and cigar to get consumed, for terrible chastisement and death then awaited him. Having passed through this second trial successfully, the third was to be suffered in the "house of spears," where still more severe trials awaited them. Amongst other things they had to defend themselves during the whole of the night against the attacks of the best spearmen selected for the purpose, one for each candidate. Coming out victorious at dawn, they were judged worthy of the fourth trial. This consisted in being shut for a whole night in "the ice-house," where the cold was intense. They had to prevent themselves from being overcome by the cold and freezing to death. The fifth ordeal was no less terrible, and consisted in passing a night in company with wild tigers in the "tiger-house," exposed to be torn to pieces or devoured alive by the ferocious animals. Emerging safe from the den, they had to submit to their sixth trial in the fery house." This was a burning furnace, where they had to remain from sunset to sunrise. Coming out unscorched, they were ready for the seventh, said to be the most severe of all, in the "house of bats." The sacred book tells us that it was the house of Camazotz, the god of the bats, full of deathdealing weapons, where the god himself coming from on high appeared to the candidates and beheaded them if off their guard. Those initiatory rites vividly recall the visions of Henoch-the blazing house of crystal, fiery hot and icy cold-the bow of fire-the quiver of arrows-the flaming sword-the crossing of the swift-flowing stream and the molten river-the extremities of the earth filled with all manner of birds and huge beasts-the habitation of that One of great glory, whose stool was the orb of the sunand so on. The title, too, of the High Priest in Mayax, Hach-Mac, "The true, the very man," which is inscribed over the bust of High Pontiff Cay at Uxmal, clearly recalls that of the Chief of the Magi at Babylon-Rab-mag, or venerable," which is practically the Maya Lab-mac," the old man." "Will it be said," writes Dr. le Plongeon, "that these mysteries were imported from Egypt or Chaldea or India or Phoenicia to America?" Since, as Dr. le Plongeon has shown, the primitive traditions of the Egyptians, the Chaldeans, and the Hindoos were unmistakably derived from the history of the early rulers of Mayax, it certainly is not improbable that there also should be discovered the origin of the sacred mysteries of those countries. It is clear, then, that a study of ancient Maya civilisation throws a new and hitherto unexpected light upon the source of many of the primitive traditions of mankind which have come down to us from the dim past, through the sacred books of the Hindoos, the Egyptians, and the Jews. I have endeavoured in this paper to indicate briefly some of the more important conclusions arrived at by Dr. le Plongeon. He has embodied the full results of his investigations in a work of extraordinary erudition and absorbing interest, entitled "The Monuments of Mayax and their Historical Teachings." This great work, which represents the life labour of Dr. le Plongeon, is completed and ready for the press, but its publication is deferred for want of funds. Dr. le Plongeon having expended all his private fortune in the course of his long researches, is unable personally to defray the cost of production, and he informs me that he has hitherto been unsuccessful in his endeavours to find a publishing house in America to issue it for him. Doubtless the initial cost of such a work would be heavy, but I have every hope that Dr. le Plongeon will find in London the means fittingly to present to the public the fruits of his long labours, and on the part of English readers the keen attention and interest which his remarkable achievements in the domain of archæology so justly merit. D. R. O'SULLIVAN. AN INDISPENSABLE REFERENCE-BOOK. E have nothing but praise for this new volume. "In the first place, because it is as good as the last, and in the second, because it is much better, and shows the steady improvement that finally ends in perfection." Thus writes the editor of Natural Science in the September number. He continues:— This year new journals are included, and practically everything that is of any use to anybody is catalogued. The value of such a list as this is extraordinary. The public can find, by a mere reference, the latest views on the most diverse subjects, as, for instance, Geology, Egyptology, Marriage, Lunacy, Wills, Savings Banks, Bacteriology, Bagpipes. No library can possibly afford to do without this patiently and industriously compiled volume, and the individual who has once bought a copy will purchase all the rest. To compile such a list of literature and issue it only six months after date is a feat of which any one might be proud, and we congratulate Miss Hetherington on her judgment and success. The Daily Chronicle writes: The 1894 issue of that admirable reference-book, the "Index to Periodicals," has been published from the REVIEW OF REVIEWS office, making the fifth annual volume in this by-path of Mr. Stead's enterprise. Miss Hetherington-an expert in an art which boasts none too many-and her staff have again done the work in a thoroughly capable manner. As before, the index is strictly confined to articles which have appeared in monthly and quarterly journals, and an extension has this year been made to include certain scientific periodicals. Some time ago Mr. Stead began to issue a handy monthly index to English and foreign periodicals, but the annual index is, as he explains, an undertaking quite apart. The latter, though confined within exclusively English limits, "is designed to be a permanent guide for the use of the student, the journalist, the statesman, and others, to the more important articles in the periodical literature of each year." That it succeeds is undoubted. We can only repeat of this what we said of the previous volume of the "Index to Periodicals," that no student of contemporary affairs can afford to be without it. The following is from the Pall Mall Gazette: The "Index to the Periodicals of 1894" has been issued from the office of the REVIEW OF REVIEWS. It does not profess to be a record of everything that has appeared in the magazines and reviews of the year, but a selection of them; and it must be said that the selection is very carefully and conscientiously made. Miss E. Hetherington, the indexer and compiler, has done her work well. The references are only matched in copiousness by the cross-references, which are as exhaustive as they can be. An introduction, describing the changes in the review and magazine world in the year, is not the least valuable part of this admirable compilation. current periodical literature the Index is of the utmost value, Every private library should have this volume as a ready key to all the serials of the year. The enormous increase of magazines now issued makes this index more than ever needful and useful as a record ever ready and exact of all the contents of the serials of the year. The Magazine of Art writes: We have nothing but praise for this admirable and indispensable publication. To the section of " Art," no fewer than five columns are devoted in the Index to the current literature of the year upon the subject. The Methodist Times says: Nothing more valuable to the working journalist or the practical man of affairs is produced during the year than the Index to Periodical Literature, in which Mr. Stead and his coadjutors classify and index the vast mass of stuff that appears in the magazine world. It saves much time and much worry and much temper. Do you want a magazine article you read six months ago and have since mislaid? Then buy the "Annual Index to Periodicals." It is the best investment a literary man can make with five shillings. The Daily News says: It is simply indispensable to the student of contemporary life and thought, as these are mirrored in the periodical literature of the day. The Literary World says: The REVIEW OF REVIEWS "Index to the Periodicals of 1894," just issued, deserves a strong recommendation for the utility and assistance it is able to give to all who have to deal with current periodical literature. The arrangement of the entries is systematic and good, and the tests we have been able to apply show accuracy and fulness. Such a publication as this can bring but little profit from the necessarily limited number of subscribers it receives, and those for whom it is intended owe the proprietor an additional word of thanks for his enterprise in projecting the Index. The Speaker says:- Its value to students of contemporary literature and affairs is, of course, obvious. It has been compiled with skill, judgment, and knowledge, and it deserves to rank high amongst works of ready reference. The Dublin Figaro says: It is one of the most useful books a literary man can require. This exhaustive compilation was first published in 1890, and since that time has rendered the work of the pressman comparatively easy. The Hastings and St. Leonards News says: The ANNUAL INDEX AND GUIDE to PERIODICAL LITERATURE VOLUMES I. (1890). II. (1891), III. (1892), IV. (1893), AND V. (1894).
