THE four chapters forming Part I of this book were originally published in Professor Stanley Hall's American Journal of Religious Psychology for July, 1911; and in the Revue d' Ethnographie et de Sociologie of the same date, issued by the International Ethnographic Institute of Paris.

With regard to the Dorian institutions in Part II, I owe much to Professor E. Bethe's learned and authoritative treatise on that subject in the Rheinisches Museum für Philologie, Frankfurt-a-M., 1907.
