Note 202 — Chapter IV · TOTEMISM AS AN ELEMENTARY RELIGION History of the Question.—Method of Treating it
Joseph Ward Swain translation
It is true that at the end and at the beginning there are some general theories on totemism, which will be described and discussed below. But these theories are relatively independent of the collection of facts which accompanies them, for they had already been published in different articles in reviews, long before this work appeared. These articles are reproduced in the first volume (pp. 89-172).
