3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged, with two fold lines. Thin strip of stub from mount adhering to one edge. The subject of the letter is Frazer's obituary of 'the Rev. Lorimer Fison and Dr. A. W.Howitt' (their deaths being 'two heavy losses' suffered by 'Australian anthropology in particular'), published in Folklore, Vol. 20, No. 2 (Jun. 30, 1909), pp. 144-180. Frazer begins by thanking Wright 'for the copy of my article which you have succeeded in wringing from the clutches of young Mr Nutt', i.e. the publisher of 'Folklore' Alfred Nutt (himself a folklorist). Frazer complains that Nutt 'ought to know how to spell my name, as it has been in the books of his Father's firm [David Nutt & Co] since before he (I mean the son) was born'. He hopes 'the other copies will follow', and thanks Wright for his 'heroic exertions in grappling with the firm of Nutt, Father and Son'. He needs three or four more copies 'to supply the Fison family', and may be forced to 'buy complete copies of the number'. He is leaving Cambridge for 'a long holiday on the Continent', and wishes he 'could have been able to let Mrs Potts have the copies' before leaving. In a postscript he instructs Wright to send 'the other copies of the article' to 'Mrs Potts, 14 Brookside, Cambridge', Mrs Potts being 'Mr Fison's sister'. Mrs Potts 'will forward the articles to Mr Fison's family in Australia'. From the distinguished autograph collection of Richard Hunter, son of Ida Macalpine, whose collection of 7000 books relating to psychiatry is in Cambridge University Library. Macalpine and Hunter had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
3pp, landscape 16mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip from stub of mount still adhering. The male recipient is not named. Thirty-five lines of closely and neatly written text. The letter begins: 'The difficulty in supposing that the marriage rules of savages can have arisen "in the aversion to in-breeding (evolving into superstitious horror) as injurious to the race" is simply the difficulty of supposing that savage man, in a state of ignorance far below that of the lowest existing savages, can have perceived the injurious effects of inbreeding, since these are so difficult to perceive that even modern experts, who have studied the facts with all the resources of science, are not agreed as to the evil effect of the practice, though on the whole the preponderance of scientific seems [sic] to condemn inbreeding as, in the long run, injurious.' The 'difficulty' seems 'insuperable' to Frazer, and he could 'almost as soon suppose that a savage had discovered the law of gravitation as that he had discovered the law (if it is a law, for it is still disputed) of the ill effects of inbreeding.' Having paid 'a good deal of attention to the working of the savage mind, which cannot be understood a priori by a comparison with the working of the civilized mind', Frazer has reached his conclusion, but 'others may judge the probabilities differently'. Frazer gives a reference to the part of his 'Totemism and Exogamy' in which he has given his views, with relation to Westermark's derivation of exogamy. From the distinguished autograph collection of Richard Hunter, son of Ida Macalpine, whose collection of 7000 books relating to psychiatry is in Cambridge University Library. Macalpine and Hunter had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.
