Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: his paper on primitive burial customs placed the study of the belief in immortality and the worship of the dead in a new light. He has now given us the first instalment of a comprehensive survey of the whole institution. Psychical and ceremonial though it is, the doctrine and cult form an institution as deserving of the name as political government. The belief in some degree of immortality has been practically universal, and is still a "last infirmity of noble mind"; some form of "worship,"fear of the ghost or actual veneration of the deified ancestor, has accompanied the belief in the case of the majority of peoples. The author acutely points out, for the consideration of "historians and economists, as well as of moralists and theologians,"that the direct consequences of this moral institution have been grave and far-reaching, such as no mere sentiment could have produced, not only in primitive but in civilised history. Natural theology, and the three modes of handling it, the dogmatic, the philosophical, and the historical.
