1903. While best known for his translations of classical literature
and as a collector of folk and fairy tales, Lang also wrote poetry,
biographies, histories, novels, literary criticisms and even
children's books. Lang's versatility was also shown in his works on
folklore and on primitive religion. In Social Origins Lang deals
with the origins of totemism, which is defined as the belief that
people are descended from animals, plants, and other natural
objects. Primal Law was written by James Jasper Atkinson, who,
through study and observation conceived of what he regarded as the
origin of morality concerning the family. Contents of Social
