Scope and content
FRAZ/5 consists of one box containing photostats of Frazer's interleaved and annotated copy of an offprint of 'On Certain Burial Customs as Illustrative of the Primitive Theory of the Soul' [published in the 'Journal of the Anthropological Institute', Vol. XV, 1885]. The photostats are enlarged positive and negative copies. Accompanied by two slightly enlarged line block prints of leaves 32-33, which appear as the facsimiles at the back of Theodore Besterman's 'Bibliography of Sir James George Frazer' as an example of work interleaved and kept up to date by Frazer. The photostats and prints are undated and possibly date from 1934, when Besterman's 'Bibliography' was published.
