Tylor's thesis on religion and belief in progress
A review of Mr. Tylor's work arguing that human progress in beliefs is limited, with primitive ideas of body and soul shaping early religion. The piece critiques his naturalist bias, praises gathered facts, and discusses animism, myth formation, language's role, and the interplay of revelation and superstition, concluding with high regard for the book's research.
