The Golden Bough - A Study in Magic and Religion. 11 (of 12) volumes, including: The Magic Art (in two volumes); Taboo and Perils of the Soul; The Dying God; Adonis Attis Osiris; Spirits of the Corn and of the Wild (in two volumes); The Scapegoat; Balder the Beautiful (in two volumes); Bibliography and General Index.

Published by Macmillan, London. Third edition, with complex dating, so buckle in and let's try to sort this out: The Magic Art and Taboo are each dated 1911; Dying God, 1912; Adonis Attis Osoros, 1907; Spirits of Corn, 1912; Scapegoat and Balder each 1914; Bibliography, 1915. The Bibliography claims there should be 12 volumes, and according to Wikipedia Adonis Attis Osiris should be two volumes. But the 1907 copy here is a one-volume version from rather earlier than the other volumes. I wonder if someone assembled the set piecemeal - although the bindings and decoration on the front covers generally match?
