The title page for chapters XIII and XIV [printed chapters XIV and XV] carries an R. & R. Clark ink date stamp of 15 Aug. 1925, and the last chapter title page lists the date Frazer sent it to Clark: 15 Aug. 1925.

FRAZ/9 consists of 1 box of material relating to 'The Fear of the Dead in Primitive Religion' spanning the dates 1931-1936. It contains the manuscript draft of Vol. I, printed in 1932; the typescript of Volume III, and a typescript of a notebook containing bibliographies for subjects covered in all three volumes.

Frazer's books, speeches, and articles written primarily from 1921 to 1927, with four cuttings dated later, from 1929 to 1940, arranged in chronological order of appearance. There are seven manuscript drafts of articles and lectures in Frazer's hand, and two more that are incomplete.

Items 47-59 are letters and the manuscript draft of an acceptance speech on the award of the Commandeur de la Légion d'honneur in April 1926.

FRAZ/12 consists of three boxes containing material relating primarily to the Macmillan edition of the 'Fasti' of Ovid, spanning the dates 1926-1931. These are primarily galley proofs for the Commentary in the Macmillan edition, most of them stamped 'First Proof' and carrying date stamps and corrections in Frazer's hand. Many are accompanied by the envelopes they were originally sent in. Proofs for Book III are missing. Proofs for Book V include notes for a lecture on the Argei given at Queens' College, Cambridge 1 Mar., 1926.

FRAZ/13 consists of two boxes of partial galley proofs for the Loeb and Macmillan editions of the 'Fasti' of Ovid and related photographs, spanning the dates [1901?]-1926. The Loeb edition was well underway with proofs being reviewed when production stopped after reaching an agreement with Macmillan in 1926.

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.

FRAZ/27 forms the final two boxes of eight boxes of papers relating to J. G. Frazer's writings, arranged according to the date of the publication or creation of the works, dating from 1884 to 1938 (FRAZ/22-27).

FRAZ/27 consists of 2 boxes of papers relating to J. G. Frazer's works written between 1935 and 1938, and arranged (roughly) in chronological order of appearance. Some items have been identified as having dates earlier than 1935 and later than 1938, but remain as they were originally arranged. These include manuscripts written in Frazer's own hand (and therefore possibly dating from the 1920s): the drafts of two poems: "The Bitter Cry of an Anthro-polo-gist, a lyrical drama in two acts" (Item 79) and "The Sunset Dream" (Item 74), notes, suggestions for passages to be used in "Man, God and Immortality" (Item 3), and two drafts of speeches given, one of them incomplete (Items 80 and 81). Other manuscript drafts were dictated by Frazer, who was, by the middle 1930s, relying on a secretary due to increasing blindness.

The work with the most amount of material here is a children's story the Frazers wrote together in 1937, "Pasha the Pom" (Items 48-58). The typescript draft and galley proofs are incomplete, but the page proofs are complete, as is the short essay, identified as marketing 'puff' for the book.

FRAZ/23 is the second of eight boxes of papers relating to J. G. Frazer's writings, arranged according to the date of the publication or creation of the works, dating from 1884 to 1938 (FRAZ/22-27).

FRAZ/23 consists of one box of papers relating to J. G. Frazer's books, speeches, and articles written primarily from 1903 to 1921, arranged in chronological order of appearance (except for the last item, possibly added later). There are five manuscript drafts of articles and speeches in Frazer's hand, and one unsigned manuscript draft of 'Fire making in the Trobriand Islands' by Bronisław Malinowski (Item 28). Other papers relating to Frazer's 'Myths on the Origin of Fire' (Items 26-42) include two letters from Malinowski concerning a myth from the village of Moligilagi; a letter from Miles Burkitt about the first appearance of fire, mentioning evidence of fire at Piltdown; two more letters about fire in prehistory from Marcellin Boule and Aimé Rutot, as well as a letter from Herbert Ian Hogbin enclosing a folktale about Pa'eva and Ke Ahi, gods of the sea and fire. An entire copy of 'The Papuan Villager', Vol. 1, No. 1, printed in Port Moresby in February 1929 and designed for the people of Papua, contains an article headed 'The Fire and the Dog'.

FRAZ/25 is the fourth of eight boxes of papers relating to J. G. Frazer's writings, arranged according to the date of the publication or creation of the works, dating from 1884 to 1938 (FRAZ/22-27).

FRAZ/25 consists of one box of papers relating to J. G. Frazer's books, speeches, and articles written from 1928 to 1939, arranged in chronological order of appearance. The Macmillan edition of 'Publii Ovidii Nasonis Fastorum Libri Sex, The Fasti of Ovid' and the Loeb Classical Library 'Ovid's Fasti' (Items 1-32), and the 4 volume 'Anthologia Anthropologica' (Items 49-97) are most fully represented here, by notes, drafts, specimen pages, letters, and cuttings.

The 20 letters to James or Lilly Frazer about the 'Fasti' include a letter from Benito Mussolini (Item 20). Item 59 is a typed copy of a letter by James Frazer written to R. R. Marett. A typescript list of invitees to the presentation of the Freedom of Glasgow provides a list of Frazer friends and acquaintances based mainly in Glasgow (Item 115).

FRAZ/26 is the fifth and sixth of eight boxes of papers relating to J. G. Frazer's writings, arranged according to the date of the publication or creation of the works, dating from 1884 to 1938 (FRAZ/22-27).

FRAZ/26 consists of 2 boxes of papers relating to J. G. Frazer's works written from 1932 to 1938, arranged in chronological order of appearance. These years are just after Frazer's eye troubles began in earnest, and appear to show a shift from writing drafts in his own hand to dictation to a secretary at the end of 1934. Lady Frazer's work as business manager continues to be evident, and letters are addressed mainly to her.

There are manuscript drafts in J.G.F’s hand of two different works: his obituary of his friend, Canon John Roscoe (Item 57); and the 1932 Zaharoff Lecture, entitled 'Condorcet on the Progress of the Human Mind' (Items 78-79). A secretary to J.G.F. is likely the hand writing the prefaces to 'Creation and Evolution in Primitive Cosmogonies' (Items 97-98) and 'Etudes d'anthropologie biblique' (Item 104).
