change has been made in the author's views. It is hoped that in this

FOLK-LORE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. Studies in Comparative Religion,
Legend, and Law. Three vols. 8vo. 37s. 6d. net.

_TIMES_.--"The idea of illustrating the Old Testament by analogies drawn

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."

the Early History of the Kingship.") 8vo. 10s. 6d. net.

_ATHENAEUM_.--"It is the effect of a good book not only to teach, but
