judgment which in the work of
another man would be surprising; and he tells each story with the point
and clarity of an artist, so that, apart from the book's high mission,
it could be read as a storehouse of good tales. His comments, moreover,
are always brief and decisive."

_TIMES_.--"The book is a great book, in just the sense in which the work
of Darwin, Zola, or Balzac is great. It has explored and mapped out a
new world. But it combines artistry with science. Not only does it
describe the greater part of the magical and religious beliefs and
practices of the lower races and peasant peoples of the world, with
a scientific precision and completeness superior to those of the
encyclopaedic biologist; it also narrates, with greater truth and
vividness than has ever been essayed, the tragi-comedy of human
superstition."

Mr. A. E. CRAWLEY in _NATURE_.--"This new edition is something more than
a mere enlargement. It is a new book, or a series of books; yet it is
the same 'Golden Bough.' The reader will find it full of good things,
new and old. He will also realise that 'The Golden Bough' is a great
book, one of the great books of our time."
