Bibliography of Sir James Frazer's Work

Abstract

IN January next Sir James Frazer will celebrate his eightieth birthday. In the same year will fall the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of his first work. To meet the desire of his many friends and admirers, who feel that there should be some appropriate mark of the occasion, which would convey to Sir James the esteem in which he is widely held, it has been decided that a number of learned societies, with which Sir James has been connected, should join under the auspices of the Folk-lore Society in the compilation and publication of a complete bibliography of his writings. It is probable that no form of commemoration could be more appropriate than this: It will serve as a perpetual reminder of the wide range of learning that Sir James has covered in his long life of activity in the service of humane letters and science. The editorship of the volume has been entrusted to Mr. Theodore Besterman, 47 Great Ormond Street, London, W.C.l, to whom subscriptions (10s. 6d.) should be sent.
