Présentation de l'éditeur :
International Congress for the History of Religions held recently in Oxford, several friends who listened to the paper on The Conception of Mana, which appears fourth in the present collection, were kind enough to suggest that it ought to be published under one cover with various scattered essays wherein aspects of the same subject had previously been examined. The essays in question were :P re-A nimistic Religion, Folklore, June 1900, pp. 162-182; From Spellto Prayer, Folk-L ore, June 1904, pp. 132-165; Taboo aN egative Magic? Anthropological Essays, presented toE dward Burnett Tylor in honour of his 75 birthday, October 2, 1907, pp. 219-234; and AS ociological View of Comparative Religion, Sociological Review, January 1908, pp. 48-60. By the kind leave of theE ditor ofF olk-L ore, theD elegates of the Clarendon Press, and theE ditor of theS ociological Review, it has been possible to proceed to the realization of this idea, conceived as I have shown amid the fervent courtesies of a festive occasion.
