Abstract
IT is to be hoped that Dr. Westermarck will one day give us a general work on the origin and development of social ceremonies. Ceremony is a sort of material complement to social ideas, an action-language embodying and expressing, if not imitating and compelling, the social will. Its roots are in the same soil as magic.
