Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... lecture iii Magical telepathy in war--Homoeopathic Magic in relation to plants, animals, inanimate things, and the dead--Homoeopathic Magic used to annul evil omens--Examples of Contagious Magic--Magical contact between a wounded person and the weapon that hurt him--Magical contact of footprints--Public magicians develop into kings--Rise of monarchy essential to the emergence of mankind from savagery. In the last lecture I explained the two great principles of magic, which may be called the Law of Similarity and the Law of Contact. The law of similarity is the foundation of homoeopathic or imitative magic. The law of contact is the foundation of contagious magic. Both branches of magic assume the possibility of acting on persons and things at a distance. At the end of last lecture I illustrated this primitive belief in telepathy by the rules observed by people at home while their friends are away hunting or searching for precious commodities, such as camphor. Rules of the same sort, based on a belief in the sympathetic connection between persons at a distance, are observed by friends and relations at home while the men are out on the warpath. Thus among the Toradjas of Central Celebes, when a party is away hunting for heads, the villagers who stay at home, and Lect. in telepathy in war 61 especially the wives of the head-hunters, have to observe certain rules in order not to hinder the absent men at their task. In the first place the entrance to the lobo or spirit-house is shut. For the spirits of their fathers, who live in that house, are now away with the warriors, watching over and guarding them; and if any one entered their house in their absence, the spirits would hear the noise and return in great anger at thus being recalled from...

Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on the Early History of the Kingship The following lectures were delivered at Trinity College, Cambridge, in the Lent term of this year, under the title of "The Sacred Character and Magical Functions of Kings in Early Society." The general theory here sketched of the evolution of the Kingship formed the subject of two lectures given in London at the Royal Institution last May. In preparing the manuscript for the press I have made a few unimportant changes, mostly verbal, and added references to my authorities. Otherwise the lectures are printed as they were spoken. Substantially they consist of a series of extracts from the forthcoming third edition of my book The Golden Bought which will contain fuller information on many points. Such prefatory remarks as I may have to make are reserved for that work, but I cannot allow this volume to go forth without an acknowledgment of the debt I owe to my friend Mr. A. B. Cook, Fellow and Lecturer of Queens' College, Cambridge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
