Abstract
THE third edition of Prof. Frazer's book will be in six parts, comprising at least seven volumes. As the subject of “the dying god,” to which the last four parts will be devoted, has proved, in the author's words, to be “a fruitful subject,” the number of volumes will probably reach a total of nine. The two volumes of the first part, which lie before us, contain more than eight hundred pages of octavo. The Golden Bough: a Study in Magic and Religion. By Prof. J. G. Frazer. Third edition. Part i. (in two vols.), The Magic Art and the Evolution of Kings. Vol i., pp. xxxii + 426. Vol ii., pp. xi + 417. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1911.) Price 20s. net, two vols.
