Item 9 - 'Notebook GR. I'

1 vol.

A bookplate pasted on the inside front cover of other volumes transferred from the Haddon Library at the same time 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.

Transferred from the Haddon Library of Archaeology and Anthropology, 23 March 2010.

Notes in Frazer's hand for his translation of Pausanias, and the second edition of 'The Golden Bough', with two drafts of articles[?] at the back of the volume, one denying that Pausanias didn’t actually travel to the places he described, and the other on the temple of Athena Polias. With several items laid in: six pages of notes [for his translation of Pausanias?] with later pencil notes on verso: one a list in Lilly Frazer’s hand of linens sent on 31 Jan. 1921; page 2 of an early draft[?] of his speech on the centenary of Ernest Renan; a page 235 from a draft of 'The Worship of Nature'[?], and some notes on vols. III and VI of Ovid’s ‘Fasti’.

An identical dark green notebook is housed as FRAZ/35/12, Miscellaneous notes and drafts of essays.
Two items which were found laid in loose to this volume on the notebook's return from the Haddon Library were found to be pages removed from FRAZ/35/15, "Notes for Folklore in Old Testament" and are now housed with that volume.
A draft of a speech on the Centenary of Ernest Renan is housed as FRAZ/35/18.

'6' in pen-and-ink on inside front cover, possibly assigned by the Haddon Library.
