Comparisons, when odious

Once more, Mr. Max Muller deprecates the making of comparisons between

savage and Vedic myths (i. 210), and then (i. 220) he deprecates the

_acceptance_ of these very comparisons 'as really authoritative until

fully demonstrated.' Now, how is the validity of the comparisons to be

'fully demonstrated' if we are forbidden to make them at all, because to

do so is to 'obscure' the Veda 'by light from the Dark Continent'?
