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_.--"It displays all the best qualities, both in respect of

Mr. A. E. CRAWLEY in _NATURE_.--"The analysis of belief and practice
among the aborigines of Australia, the Torres Straits, New Guinea, and
Melanesia, which occupies nearly 400 pages of this volume, is a masterly

_GUARDIAN_.--"The bare facts which Dr. Frazer sets before us are of an
absorbing interest.... The Biblical student may gain much from the

which he has had to draw with a skill and
