Mencken's survey of the history and philosophy of religion, and was intended as an unofficial companion volume to his Treatise on Right and Wrong (1934).〔https://openlibrary.org/b/OL14380373M/Treatise_on_right_and_wrong〕 The first and second printings were sold out before publication, and eight more printings followed.〔''Treatise on the Gods'', preface to the Revised Edition〕 Its first edition received a major 5-column review in the ''New York Times'', written by one P.W. Wilson;〔See the NYT online archive〕 and the Marxist literary critic Granville Hicks called it "the best popular account we have of the origin and nature of religion." However, the Protestant theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, writing in the ''Atlantic Monthly'', claimed that "It is only in dealing with moral and social issues that () achieves the heights of complete detachment, and in this case the detachment is that of a cynic rather than that of a scientist." By the end of its first year ''Treatise'' had sold thirteen thousand copies.〔''The Skeptic: A Life of H. L. Mencken'', by Terry Teachout〕 By 1940 its popularity had waned, and although it went temporarily out of print in 1945, Mencken considered it "my best book, and by far."〔''The Skeptic: A Life of H. L. Mencken'', by Terry Teachout〕 At the request of its original publisher Alfred A Knopf, Mencken wrote a revised edition (1946), eliminating (among other changes) a controversial quote about Jews: :The Jews could be put down very plausibly as the most unpleasant race ever heard of. As commonly encountered, they lack many of the qualities that mark the civilized man: courage, dignity, incorruptibility, ease, confidence. They have vanity without pride, voluptuousness without taste, and learning without wisdom. Their fortitude, such as it is, is wasted upon puerile objects, and their charity is mainly a form of display.〔''Treatise on the Gods'', 1930, pp. 345-346〕 A year after publication the ''New York Times'' published another review, this one by Philip Wylie and accompanied by a caricature of Mencken by Covarrubias. Wylie referred to the book as a "tourbillon by the Burgrave of Baltimore". Two more editions of the book followed, in 1997 and 2006. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Treatise on the Gods」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
