The Supernatural its Origin, Nature and Evolution by John H. King

Publication: 1882 William and Norgate First Edition 8vos.

King, was an American anthropologist, who suggests that religion and magic evolved as an attempt by primitive man to bring some control over the unfathomable natural forces that seemingly control life. The book discusses the concepts of the supernatural and soul, of spirits and ghosts, that can arise through dreams and hallucinations, and from them comes the idea of Gods. King examines a large amount of material on the history of religion.
