Lectures on the Early History of the Kingship is a book written by Sir James Frazer, a Scottish social anthropologist and folklorist. The book is a collection of lectures that Frazer delivered at the London School of Economics in 1905-1906. The lectures explore the origins and development of kingship in various societies and cultures throughout history, including ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome. Frazer examines the different forms of kingship, such as divine kingship and elective kingship, and the role of the king in society. He also discusses the myths and rituals associated with kingship, such as the coronation ceremony and the belief in the king's divine right to rule. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the early history of kingship and its significance in human societies. It is a valuable resource for historians, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the evolution of political systems and cultural beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
