THIS volume contains the whole of the Gifford Lectures delivered by me before the University of Edinburgh in the years 1924 and 1925, together with much additional matter which could not be compressed within the limits of twenty lectures. In the sequel I propose to complete the survey of the Worship of the Sun and to deal with the personification and worship of other aspects of nature, both inanimate and animate.

J. G. FRAZER.
