and is the first attempt that has been made in any language to weave
together the results of recent investigations into such topics as
Sympathetic Magic, Taboo, Totemism, Fetishism, etc., so as to present
a systematic account of the growth of primitive religion and the
development of early religious institutions.
'Dr. Jevons has written a notable work, and we can strongly recommend
it to the serious attention of theologians, anthropologists, and
classical scholars.'--_Manchester Guardian._
'The merit of this book lies in the penetration, the singular
acuteness and force of the author's judgment. He is at once critical
and luminous, at once just and suggestive. It is but rarely that one
meets with a book so comprehensive and so thorough as this, and it is
more than an ordinary pleasure for the reviewer to welcome and
recommend it. Dr. Jevons is something more than an historian of
primitive belief--he is a philosophic thinker, who sees his subject
clearly and sees it whole, whose mastery of detail is no less complete
than his view of the broader aspects and issues of his subject is
convincing.'--_Birmingham Post._
