""Magic in Names and other Things"" is a book written by Edward Clodd that explores the power and significance of names and words in various cultures and civilizations throughout history. The author delves into the concept of magic and how it has been associated with naming practices, such as the use of secret or sacred names in religious rituals and the belief that certain names have the ability to bring good luck or ward off evil spirits. Clodd also examines the role of names in literature and mythology, highlighting the importance of naming characters and places in creating a sense of identity and meaning. The book is a fascinating exploration of the cultural significance of names and words and their enduring power in shaping our understanding of the world around us.1920.

Rese�a del editor

The world-wide superstition, examples of which form the staple of this book, has scarcely received the attention warranted by the important part which it has played, and still plays, in savage and civilized belief and ritual. The book is an enlargement of a lecture on Magic inN ames, delivered at the Royal Institution in March 1917. There are incorporated into it some portions of anE ssay onS avage Philosophy in Folk-lore, which was published in 1898. The book has been long out of print, and I beg to thank Messrs. Duckworth and Co. for permission to make extracts therefrom. I have also to thank my wife for her valued help in the tedious work of revision of proof sheets. E. C.
