_TIMES._—“The verdict of posterity will probably be that _The Golden Bough_ has influenced the attitude of the human mind towards supernatural beliefs and symbolical rituals more profoundly than any other books published in the nineteenth century except those of Darwin and Herbert Spencer.”

TOTEMISM AND EXOGAMY. A Treatise on Certain Early Forms of Superstition and Society. With Maps. Four vols. 8vo. 50s. net.

MR. A. E. CRAWLEY in _NATURE_.—“That portion of the book which is concerned with totemism (if we may express our own belief at the risk of offending Prof. Frazer’s characteristic modesty) is actually ‘The Complete History of Totemism, its Practice and its Theory, its Origin and its End.’ . . . Nearly two thousand pages are occupied with an ethnographical survey of totemism, an invaluable compilation. The maps, including that of the distribution of totemic peoples, are a new and useful feature.”

LECTURES ON THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE KINGSHIP. 8vo. 8s. 6d. net.

_ATHENÆUM._—“It is the effect of a good book not only to teach, but also to stimulate and to suggest, and we think this the best and highest quality, and one that will recommend these lectures to all intelligent readers, as well as to the learned.”

PSYCHE’S TASK. A Discourse concerning the Influence of Superstition on the Growth of Institutions. Second Edition, revised and enlarged. To which is added “The Scope of Social Anthropology.” 8vo. 5s. net.

_OUTLOOK._—“Whether we disagree or agree with Dr. Frazer’s general conclusions, he has provided us with a veritable storehouse of correlated facts, for which, and for the learning that has gone to their collection, and for the intellectual brilliance that has gone to their arrangement, we can never be sufficiently grateful.”

The Belief among the Aborigines of Australia, the Torres Straits Islands, New Guinea, and Melanesia. The Gifford Lectures, St. Andrews, 1911–1912. 8vo. 10s. net.

MR. EDWARD CLODD in the _DAILY CHRONICLE_.—“‘If a man die, shall he live again?’ is a question asked chiliads before Job put it, and the generations of mankind repeat it. In this profoundly interesting volume, Professor Frazer, out of the treasury of his knowledge, and with consummate art of attractive presentment, gives the answers devised by the Lower Races.”

FOLK-LORE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. 8vo. [_In Preparation._

PAUSANIAS’S DESCRIPTION OF GREECE. Translated with a Commentary, Illustrations, and Maps. Second Edition. Six vols. 8vo. 126s. net.

_ATHENÆUM._—“All these writings in many languages Mr. Frazer has read and digested with extraordinary care, so that his book will be for years _the_ book of reference on such matters, not only in England, but in France and Germany. It is a perfect thesaurus of Greek topography, archæology, and art.”

STUDIES IN GREEK SCENERY, LEGEND AND HISTORY. Selected from his Commentary on Pausanias by Sir J. G. FRAZER. Globe 8vo. 5s. net. [_Eversley Series._

_GUARDIAN._—“Here we have material which every one who has visited Greece, or purposes to visit it, most certainly should read and enjoy. . . . We cannot imagine a more excellent book for the educated visitor to Greece.”

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Occasional missing full stops or commas were replaced without notice. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: {p52}. Original small caps or bold text is now uppercase. Italics look _like this_. Sidenotes occurring in the middle of a paragraph of text have been moved to the head of the relevant paragraph, and all distinct sidenotes then lying at the head of a paragraph have been combined into one sidenote. Footnotes have been relabeled 1–1449, and converted to end notes, and relocated to between the appendix and the advertisements. I produced the cover image by editing a scanned image of the original, and hereby assign it to the public domain. Original page images are available from archive.org—search for “b22650829_0001”.
