Item 23-25 - 'Tot. I [and II and III]'

3 vols.

A bookplate pasted on the inside front cover of the first volume 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.

Three bound notebooks with over 300 pages of notes, the first with a heading at the top of the first page of notes, 'The Secret of the Totem. A Supplement to "Totemism and Exogamy". Sources of Information' [later titled 'Totemica']. Notes in an unidentified hand, with an index for the first two volumes in J. G. Frazer’s hand. Four photographic postcards of Corsica, with undated notes by [François Ceccaldi?] on the verso of two describing the scene depicted and inviting them to visit, were laid in loose to the second volume.

'5a' and '5c' in pen-and-ink on inside front cover of the first and third volumes, possibly assigned by the Haddon Library.

Volumes labeled “Tot. I”, “Tot. II”, and “Tot. III” in blue pencil on front cover.
