I propose to show wherein the difference lies. Mannhardt says, 'My
method is just the same as that applied by me to the Tree-cult.' What
was _that_ method?
Mannhardt, in the letter quoted by Mr. Max Muller, goes on to describe
it; but Mr. Max Muller omits the description, probably not realising its
importance. For Mannhardt's method is the reverse of that practised
under the old colours to which he is said to have returned.
