The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion is a wide-ranging, comparative study of mythology and religion, written by Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer (1854-1941). It first was published in two volumes in 1890; the third edition, published 1906-15, comprised twelve volumes. It was aimed at a broad literate audience raised on tales as told in such publications as Thomas Bulfinch's The Age of Fable, or Stories of Gods and Heroes (1855). It offered a modernist approach to discussing religion, treating it dispassionately as a cultural phenomenon rather than from a theological perspective. The impact of The Golden Bough on contemporary European literature was substantial.

THE PRIMARY aim of this book is to explain the remarkable rule which regulated the succession to the priesthood of Diana at Aricia. When I first set myself to solve the problem more than thirty years ago, I thought that the solution could be propounded very briefly, but I soon found that to render it probable or even intelligible it was necessary to discuss certain more general questions, some of which had hardly been broached before. In successive editions the discussion of these and kindred topics has occupied more and more space, the enquiry has branched out in more and more directions, until the two volumes of the original work have expanded into twelve. Meantime a wish has often been expressed that the book should be issued in a more compendious form. This abridgment is an attempt to meet the wish and thereby to bring the work within the range of a wider circle of readers. While the bulk of the book has been greatly reduced, I have endeavoured to retain its leading principles, together with an amount of evidence sufficient to illustrate them clearly. The language of the original has also for the most part been preserved, though here and there the exposition has been somewhat condensed. In order to keep as much of the text as possible I have sacrificed all the notes, and with them all exact references to my authorities. Readers who desire to ascertain the source of any particular statement must therefore consult the larger work, which is fully documented and provided with a complete bibliography.

Adonis Attis Osiris: Studies in the History of Oriental Religion is a book written by James George Frazer, a Scottish anthropologist and folklorist. The book is a collection of essays that explore the history and mythology of three ancient deities: Adonis, Attis, and Osiris. These deities were worshipped in various cultures throughout the ancient world, including Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Frazer's essays delve into the origins of these deities, their roles in their respective cultures, and the myths and rituals associated with them. He explores the similarities and differences between the three deities and their worship, as well as their connections to the cycles of nature and the agricultural calendar. Throughout the book, Frazer draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and comparative mythology. He also discusses the influence of these deities on later religions, such as Christianity and the cult of the Virgin Mary. Adonis Attis Osiris: Studies in the History of Oriental Religion is a seminal work in the field of comparative mythology and remains a classic of anthropological literature. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion, mythology, or ancient cultures.1906. In two volumes bound as one. Part IV of The Golden Bough, A Study in Magic and Religion. These studies are an expansion of the corresponding sections in Sir Frazer's book, The Golden Bough, and they will form a part of the third edition of that book. In studying afresh these three Oriental worships, he paid more attention than formerly to the natural features of the countries in which they arose, because he is more than ever persuaded that religion, like all other institutions, has been profoundly influenced by physical environment, and cannot be understood without some appreciation of those aspects of external nature which stamp themselves indelibly on the thoughts, the habits, the whole life of a people.
