As Frazer explains in his preface, the work began as an attempt to explain the rule that regulated succession to the priesthood of Diana at Aricia, and grew into a twelve-volume inquiry; this abridgment keeps the leading principles with enough evidence to illustrate them, without the notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrazer traces the progression he saw in human thought from magic through religion to science. Chapters shown in the contents include The King of the Wood, Priestly Kings, Sympathetic Magic, Magic and Religion, The Magical Control of the Weather, Magicians as Kings, Incarnate Human Gods and The Worship of Trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Macmillan Company, New York; copyright 1922, reset and printed from new plates 1951.
