This is a new release of the original 1930 edition.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
1930. Among primitive races, in antiquity, the Middle Ages, and
modern times. This volume is a survey of the history of possession
from the most ancient times down to the present day and in all
countries of the inhabited globe, together with an analysis of its
nature and relationship to other phenomena, such as hysteria and
the manifestations of spiritualism. The subject treated is a very
fascinating one, to the general reader as well as to the student of
psychology and ethnology. It would be difficult to see the human
race in a more fantastic light than that cast by these stories of
possession.
