Excerpt from The Delphic Oracle, Its Early History, Influence and Fall Particularly interesting is the history of the influence of the Oracle in the domain of morality. Here there was a gradual ethical evolution from the old-time barbarous code which could sanction human sacrifice, and which took account merely of external morality, to the stage which took cognizance of mere acts of the will. Having traced the influence of the Oracle under these three heads - politics, religion and morality I have briefly indicated the causes which led to. The decline of the Oracle, and have endeavoured to show the stages in the waning of its influence till its extinction in Christian times.

Excerpt from The Delphic Oracle, Its Early History, Influence and Fall One of my pleasantest duties in a recent term of office as Extern Examiner in Greek to the National University of Ireland was to read a Thesis on the History of the Delphic Oracle by the Rev. T. Dempsey, for which he was awarded the degree of M.A. with Honours by the unanimous vote of the Classical Examiners. The sound Greek scholarship and the sympathetic and temperate judgment which it showed, no less than the clearness of its arrangement, led me to advise Mr. Dempsey to undertake a thorough revision of his work with a view to its appearing as a book, and I am very glad to learn that this has been arranged. Though I can only speak with such knowledge of Greek Religion as comes to a student and lover of Greek Literature who has devoted some attention to the epigraphic records of ancient religion in Italy and in some parts of Hellas, I have found so much interest and profit in what Mr. Dempsey has written, that I venture to commend it to other students. I know no other treatise which covers the same ground and which presents the chief facts in so convenient, and, so far as I may judge, so trustworthy a form.

"The Rev. T. Dempsey's work on 'The Delphic oracle' was originally written as a thesis for the master's degree at the National university of Ireland, and is here republished in an enlarged form at the suggestion of Dr R. S. Conway, who read the original in his capacity of university examiner. In it is collected all extant information about the shrine with the history of its connection successively with the cults of Gaea and Themia, and later with those of Dionysus, Poseidon, and Apollo. As regards the cause of the priestess's ecstasies, the author points out that the theory of a mephitic vapor rests wholly on the authority of later writers, and he thinks that the source of inspiration must be sought elsewhere, possibly in telepathy or even in such demonic possession as is described in a. well-known passage of the Acts of the Apostles. A selection of some of the more important of the oracle's vaticinations is here given, notably, of course, the ambiguous and misleading one delivered to Croesus." -Nation "The monograph is useful, as no other treatise covers quite the same ground and presents facts in so lucid and convenient a form. The only unsatisfactory portion of the book is that dealing with the explanation of the Delphic inspiration as superhuman. There is an interesting chapter on the influence of the oracle on morality."- International Journal of Ethics "This volume is partly an outline of what has been accomplished and what may yet be achieved in the field of scientific, instructional and propagandistic motion pictures, and partly a handbook of instruction as to some of the more unfamiliar technical aspects of the production of films. Mr. Dench, often with truth, contends that the films can serve the interests of education. athletics, Bible study, missionary work, medicine, surgery, industry, prison reform, dentistry, and much besides. For all his enthusiasm, he is sensible enough to recognize that in educational matters the films can at best be only an adjunct, and not in themselves all-sufficient." -Boston Transcript "The author is commended by his curiosity, enthusiasm and copious information on his subject, if not by the quality of his English style." - Boston Transcript
