“One or two of the results of the wild scheme of astronomical allegory first encountered by Dupuis in his Origins of Religions, near the close of the last century; popularized by Volney in his Ruins; adapted with variations more or less fully by Sir William Drummond in his Oedipus Judaicus; by Godfrey Higgins in the vast muddle of undigested learning, the Anacalypsis; repeated ad nauseum by men of feebler minds and even greater anti-Christian malignity, and galvanized into new life by some writers of our own day, may be cited.” (John T. Perry, The Credibility of History, July 1878.)
