Muller then goes on to prove that 'no religion consists of fetichism only, choosing his examples of higher elements in negro religion from the collections of Waitz. It is difficult to see what bearing this has on his argument. Even if no tribe in the world is exclusively devoted to fetiches, the argument makes no progress.
But, on my mother's account, I was never long absent from Hosterwitz. I enjoyed being with her so much. We drove and walked together, and discussed everything the past had brought and the future promised. Yet I longed for academic freedom, and especially to sit at the feet of an Ernst Curtius, and be initiated by Waitz into the methodical study of history.
Spencer's opinion, these savages have words for dreams and dreaming. In 1874 Mr. Howitt's evidence on the moral element in the mysteries was not published.

In addition you must know your Westermarck on Human Marriage, and your Waitz Anthropologie, and your Topinard not that you need expect to go measuring people's skulls and chests as this last named authority expects you to do, for no self-respecting person black or white likes that sort of thing from the hands of an utter stranger, and if you attempt it you'll get yourself disliked in West Africa.
