Frazer's theory that the Baldr-myth is a relic of tree-worship and the ritual sacrifice of the God, Baldr being a tree-spirit whose soul is contained in the mistletoe. They are rather proofs of antiquity. Apparent contradictions whose explanation is forgotten often survive in tradition; the inventor of a new story takes care to make it consistent.
Frazer's remains were disinterred and taken to England. The spot where he was wounded is marked by a monument, and indicates where he endeavored to make a stand after being driven from his first position. Anburey and Madame Riedesel give graphic accounts of his death and burial. Burgoyne had been everywhere foiled by the battle of the seventh.
I am not aware, however, that any Egyptologists have adopted such a view to account for the animal forms of the Egyptian gods. Totemism Defined I think I have defined totemism, and the reader may consult Mr. Frazer's work on the subject, or Mr. MacLennan's essays, or 'Totemism' in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. However, I shall define totemism once more.
From this and the evidence cited above it would appear that the institution was widely spread in Africa, and at the same time it affords a striking proof in support of the essential soundness of Dr Frazer's interpretation of the Priest of Nemi, an interpretation which has been violently attacked in certain quarters, very largely on the ground that no one would be found willing to accept an office involving such direct danger to life.
"Grandpapa can't come till his agent is gone. Don't you hear them talking in the library?" "Well I wish Mr. Frazer would take himself off; he's a nuisance," declared the boy. "He's been here a whole hour." "Here comes Grandpapa!" announced Polly gleefully, from a station nearer the library. "Hush, now, Mr. Frazer's going!"
I must ask you both to publicly apologize before your sorority for what happened this morning." Eunice Brice grew white and frightened, but Eugenia Frazer's face flamed angrily. "Indeed, Allison Cloud, I'll do nothing of the kind. What in the world did you suppose I had to do with what happened this morning?" "You had all to do with it. Miss Frazer, I happen to know all about the matter."
But the treasure still lies in Tobermory Bay. Mr. Frazer's tale merely is that a woman told a sailor to bid him leave a certain boy behind. The sailor did not give the message, the boy died, and the woman said that she had seen the lad 'walking with me in his winding sheets, sewed up from top to toe, that this portent never deceived her. 3.
They wandered through woods and mountains, their flying locks crowned with ivy or snakes, brandishing wands and torches, to the hollow sounds of the drum, or the shrill notes of the flute, with wild dances and insane cries and jubilation." See Frazer's Golden Bough, Part IV, p. 229. Oxen, goats, even fawns and roes from the forest were killed, torn to pieces, and eaten raw.
He had reached an eminence rising at the right of the late battle-ground, and not far removed from Frazer's position on that day, when the pickets of Arnold's division discovered his approach, and gave the alarm. Having gained a favorable position for using his guns, Burgoyne halted, and formed his line.
Humani nihil a se alienum putat. I have not remarked this aspect of belief as much prevalent in the most backward races, and I do not try to look behind what we know historically about early religion. Frazer's Golden Bough with Mr.
