The additional manuscript series are artificial groups containing manuscripts from various sources. Most of the contents are single items or small groups, but they include some fairly large personal archives, either arranged in sequence or scattered in various places. See the overview of the collections (https://archives.trin.cam.ac.uk/index.php/overview).

6, The College, Glasgow. Dated February 25th, 1898 - Thanks him for ['Pausanias's Description of Greece']; admires the maps and the 'real English' that Frazer has managed in his translation; is translating Tacitus; is touched and honoured by the dedication, the 'highest satisfaction a teacher can have' that he has started an interest in classical work capable of leading to such results.

6 The College, Glasgow. Dated January 26, 1901 - Thanks him for the second edition of 'The Golden Bough' and admires it; when he heard Frazer was in Rome he wrote to his friend Consul Babyami [?] but found that was unnecessary; encloses a clipping from 'The Times' [not transcribed].

Garfield, Victoria Square, Stirling. Dated March 16, 1911 - Thanks him for the new edition of 'The Golden Bough'; a 'ludicrous thought': he wonders if August 12th [the start of the grouse shooting season] was chosen as nearly identical as the Festival of Diana on the 13th.

Drumore, Blairgowrie, N.B. Dated October 13, 1911 - Thanks him for 'The Dying God'; points out he is violating his own examples, 'instead of killing the aged functionary after all possible good has been taken out of him, you load him with favours'; is fascinated by the principle of temporary kingship terminated by compulsory death and facetiously suggests applying it to politics, 'provided always they [the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer] belong to the wrong party ... surely after [a 5 year term] all sense of their divinity must have departed from the minds of their subjects'; begs pardon for his levity, but appreciates the humour in Frazer's book, a rare quality with the learned.

St. Keyne's, Cambridge. Dated 15 November 1911 - Congratulates him on the living of Ovington; thanks him for 'The Baganda', is honoured to think he had a hand in its production, especially as the life it records is disappearing; the application to the Lord Advocate [Lord Strathclyde] on his behalf was a pleasure and may bear fruit in the future.

St. Keyne's, Cambridge. Dated 1, 14 April 1913 - In the first letter he says he will see [W. H.
