1897 antique Aborigine INDIAN Pagan POLYNESIAN religion

1897 antique Aborigines INDIAN Pagan POLYNESIAN religion .... Interesting first edition 1897 book whose title kind of gives away the basic attitude of the thing: RELIGIONS OF PRIMITIVE PEOPLES. But pretty much EVERYONE in Victorian times referred to aboriginal cultures as “primitive.” Chapters include: The Scientific Study of Primitive Religions, The Origin and Contents of Primitive Religions, Primitive Religious Expression: In the Word….In the Object…. In the Rite, The Lines of Development of Primitive Religions. I notice one little subheading states “Pagan Religions Not Wholly Bad”!....
