Note 1231 — Chapter XX · THE WORSHIP OF THE OAK
Reading edition
The evidence will be given later on, when we come to deal with the fire-festivals of Europe. Meantime I may refer the reader to The Golden Bough, Second Edition, iii. 347 sqq., where, however, the statement as to the universal use of oak-wood in kindling the need-fire is too absolute, exceptions having since come to my knowledge. These will be noticed in the third edition of that part of The Golden Bough.
