The Golden Bough, Vol. 1 of 2: A Study in Comparative Religion (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Golden Bough, Vol. 1 of 2: A Study in Comparative Religion For some time I have been preparing a general work on primitive superstition and religion. Among the problems which had attracted my attention was the hitherto unexplained rule of the Arician priesthood; and last spring it happened that in the course of my reading I came across some facts which, combined with others I had noted before, suggested an explana tion of the rule in question. As the explanation, if correct, promised to throw light on some obscure features of primitive religion, I resolved to develop it fully, and, detaching it from my general work, to issue it as a separate study. This book is the result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pausanias, and Other Greek Sketches (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Pausanias, and Other Greek Sketches The Englishman in Greece who pays any heed to the remains of classical antiquity is apt, if he be no scholar, to wonder who a certain Pausanias was whose authority he finds often quoted on questions of ancient buildings and sites. The first of the following sketches may do some thing to satisfy his curiosity on this head. It has already served as an introduction to a yersion of Pausanias's Description of Greece which I published with a commentary two years ago. The account of Pericles was con tributed to the ninth edition of the Encyclo paea'z'a Britannica. I desire to thank Messrs. A. And C. Black for their courteous permission to republish it. The other sketches are reprinted, with some small changes and adjustments of detail, from my commentary on Pausanias. References to authorities have been omitted as needless in a book which is not specially. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
