Reading edition
The Golden Bough, 3rd ed. pt I. vol. I. p. 226, n. 2. Cf. Hubert and Mauss, Esquisse d’une Théorie générale de la Magie, Paris, 1904, p. 8. Goblet d’Alviella, reviewing Dr Frazer’s 2nd edition, Rev. Hist. Rel. t. XLVIII. (July-Aug. 1903), pp. 70, 79 rebuts his theory. Mr E. S. Hartland, at the British Association’s Meeting in 1906, propounded the view that both magic and religion were based on the conception of a transmissible personality or mana. Cf. id. Ritual and Belief, 1914, pp. 49 sqq.
