The Golden Bough: a Study in Magic and Religion

Abstract

THE third part of “The Golden Bough” is an expansion of a portion of the third chapter of the second edition. Its title, “The Dying God,” indicates the chief concern of the whole work, for it might well apply to four of the six parts. To the other three, “Adonis, Attis, Osiris,” “The Man of Sorrows,” and “Balder the Beautiful,” it is related as genus to species.

The Golden Bough: a Study in Magic and Religion.

By Prof. J. G. Frazer. Third edition. Part iii., The Dying God. Pp. xii + 305. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1911.) Price 10s. net.
