London: Macmillan and Co., 1902. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Half calf and marbled paper, gilt-stamped lettering and detail on spine, top edge gilt. Joints and corners scuffed; head of spine a bit chipped; front paste-down scuffed from removal of bookplate, bookplate of Abel Berland remains. Dedicated to Sir James George Frazer, this exhaustive volume too endeavors to cover it all -- discusses taboo, fetish, even mother-in-laws. A nice copy.
