Archival history

A bookplate pasted on the inside front cover of the accompanying group of notebooks reads, 'This book formed part of the library of Sir James George Frazer, O.M., which was bequeathed by Lady Frazer to Trinity College, Cambridge. It was presented by the College to the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Cambridge.' The volume was then transferred to the Haddon Library of Archaeology and Anthropology and in 2010 was transferred to Trinity College Library to rejoin the Frazer Papers.
