The ancients attached the utmost importance to the significance of trees, their poetic and impressive language. We find this when we read the Scriptures, look at our oriental rugs, or examine a Gothic cathedral. -from "Trees" What did the dolphin symbolize to the ancient Egyptians? What color is traditionally associated with the intellectual discipline of philosophy? Why did the English and Irish dread the coming of a banshee? This highly browsable and amazingly informative little volume, first published in 1912, is a guide to ancient symbology-including trees, colors, numbers, animals, angels, fabulous creatures, demons, gems, and crosses and other geometric and architectural forms-that offers the reader at a glance the interrelated crosscultural context for emblems of power, magic, and meaning. Artists and designers will find enormous inspiration, readers of mythology will find necessary grounding, and the merely curious will find endlessly engaging historical tidbits.

In this neat little book Miss Hall has brought together a very considerable amount information regarding important symbols in their Hebrew, Pagan and Christian forms. The matter is so classified that symbols derived from one class of objects are brought together and an excellent alphabetical index permits immediate reference to any desired symbol. The book is, as its title claims, just a glossary. There is no discussion, no expansion, no comparison. The items are arranged under column-headings-country, symbol, signification-and for many of the symbols a single line conveys the entire information. Miss Hall does not go very deeply-has not done so in her own study-but the book will be really useful to many persons, to whom symbols constantly present themselves, but who are ignorant of their meaning. It is easy to pick flaws in our author's geography, spellings and explanations; thus-why is the emblem of Xerxes a Greek symbol, who is F. Delitazch, D. D., why subtility and portentious, and are immortality and longevity the same thing? Every page raises some such question, some pages raise several. But such errors, while unfortunate will not greatly weaken the usefulness of the book to those for whom it is intended. -The American Antiquarian and Oriental Journal, Vol. 35

Excerpt from A Glossary of Important Symbols: In Their Hebrew, Pagan and Christian Forms Each year, the stream of travel increases and many people are brought in contact with ancient terms and devices with which they are totally unfamiliar. Each year, new classes are formed in the History of Art and thousands of students enter art schools where they copy classic designs which represented in the past the customs and beliefs of powerful and intelligent people. In order to thoroughly enjoy historical and religious works or to interpret the exact language of form and color in ancient buildings, it is necessary to be acquainted with the most important emblems, from their origin in the past to the present application of these terms. The Bible contains the largest number of symbols of any history in the world. Readers and teachers need to be familiar with the popular forms of expression employed by Hebrew, Pagan and Christian, in order to interpret correctly the Scriptures as well as classic and romantic literature. Architects, sculptors, decorators and illustrators of fact and fiction, designers of book covers and plates, smiths and jewelers are often at a loss to find an object which will lend itself to their design and at the same time typify something or someone that they desire to suggest or memorialize in its plan. The reasons governing the connection between the larger number of symbols and their meanings are so wrapped in myth and legend that an entire volume is often necessary to explain a few emblems.
