A collection of writings that explore psychology and folk-lore, or as the author writes in his introduction, "The title is borrowed from the first paper, but provides a fair notion of the scope of the book. The prevailing interest is throughout psychological; and whatever is not folk-lore in the strict sense belongs at least to anthropology."

Origin and Validity in Religion; 8. Magic or Religion?; 9. The Primitive Medicine-Man; 10. Progress in Prehistoric Times; 11. Anthropology and University Education.
