A very RARE and beautiful set written by John H. King in 1892...."The Supernatural: Its Origin, Nature, and Evolution". King, an American anthropologist, suggests that religion and magic evolved as an attempt by primitive man to bring some control over the unfathomable natural forces that seemed to 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. Books in good condition for Age. Externally original clothes with some stains,spines a bit darkened.
