Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Phallicism in Japan Dedication. Respectfully dedicated as an expression of highest esteem to Emil G. Hirsch, Ph.D., Professor of Rabbinical Literature and Philosophy in the University of Chicago and Rabbi in the Sinai Congregation, Chicago, that profound scholar and ever ready patron of liberal learning, without whose generous aid in the Emil G. Hirsch fellowship, this thesis could not have been written. Preface. This thesis is meant for a study in Shinto, while a work complete at least in outline will be published so soon as opportunity offers. The circumscription in the circulation of an academic monograph renders admissible a detail and frankness in the treatment of phallicism which would be inadmissible in work destined for the general public. Should any general reader happen upon this article and find it unduly stimulating his lower sensibility, he may thereby judge his distance from the scientific purpose of the writer, and will do better in passing the article to fitter hands. Finally let me say that in breaking such new ground as is here done, errors both of commission and omission must occur, and these should meet with prompt correction at the hands of the many scholars in Japan who are best fitted to the task.
