The first volume of Frazer's book comprises the Gifford Lectures he gave at the University of St. Andrews in the years 1911 and 1912, and deals with the belief in immortality and the worship of the dead, as these are found among the aborigines of Australia, the Torres Straits Islands, New Guinea, and Melanesia. In the second volume, the author describes the corresponding belief and worship among the Polynesians, a people related to their neighbors the Melanesians by language, if not by blood.Contents:The Savage Conception of DeathMyths of the Origin of DeathThe Belief in Immortality among the Aborigines of Central AustraliaThe Belief in Immortality among the other Aborigines of AustraliaThe Belief in Immortality among the Natives of the Torres Straits IslandsThe Belief in Immortality among the Natives of British New GuineaThe Belief in Immortality among the Natives of German New GuineaThe Belief in Immortality among the Natives of German and Dutch New GuineaThe Belief in Immortality among the Natives of Southern Melanesia (New Caledonia)The Belief in Immortality among the Natives of Central MelanesiaThe Belief in Immortality among the Natives of Northern and Eastern MelanesiaThe Belief in Immortality among the Natives of Eastern Melanesia (Fiji)The Belief in Immortality among the MaorisThe Belief in Immortality among the TongansThe Belief in Immortality among the SamoansThe Belief in Immortality among the Hervey IslandersThe Belief in Immortality among the Society IslandersThe Belief in Immortality among the MarquesansThe Belief in Immortality among the Hawaiians
