Administrative history / Biographical sketch
Note
Frazer was born 1 January 1854 in Glasgow, and after graduating MA in 1874 from the University of Glasgow, entered Trinity College with a scholarship. He was Second Classic in 1878, and a year later was made a Fellow of the College on the strength of his dissertation, “The Growth of Plato’s Ideal Theory”. This Title Alpha Fellowship, for which no duties were required, was renewed as a Title B fellowship (for those ‘engaged in the systematic study of some important branch of literature or science’) in 1885 and 1890, before becoming qualified to hold a Pension Fellowship in 1895, at which time it became tenable for life.
“The Golden Bough”, the work for which Frazer is best known, was first published in 1890. The book drew on a comprehensive amount of data and traced common evolutionary patterns in the development of seemingly disparate cultures worldwide. His evolutionary theory of societal development, in which societies moved from a belief in primitive magic, to religion, to science was expanded over three editions, which ballooned from two, to three, to twelve volumes, with an additional volume (“Aftermath”) twenty years later.
Frazer followed “The Golden Bough” with other anthropological works, including “Totemism and Exogamy” (1910), “The Belief in Immortality and the Worship of the Dead” (1913-1924), “Folk-Lore in the Old Testament” (1918), “The Worship of Nature” (1926), “Myths of the Origin of Fire” (1930), “The Fear of the Dead in Primitive Religion” (1933), and the four volume “Anthologia Anthropologica. The Native Races of Africa and Madagascar [and Australasia, Asia and Europe, and America]” (1938-1939). His first published work was the revised edition of George Long’s “C. Sallusti Crispi Catalina et Iugurtha” (1884); he continued to produce works of classical scholarship at intervals, with editions of “Pausanias’s Description of Greece” (1898), Apollodorus’s “The Library” (1921), and Ovid’s “Fasti” (one for Macmillan, 1929, one for Loeb, 1931). He also produced more literary works, editing the letters of William Cowper (1912) and essays of Joseph Addison (1915), and writing a series of articles in Addison’s style, “Sir Roger de Coverley” in “The Saturday Review” (1915, published as a book in 1920).
In 1896, he married Lilly Grove (born Elizabeth Johanna de Boys Adelsdorfer in 1854/5), a French widow with two children, Charles Grenville Grove (1878-1949) and Lilly Mary Grove (c 1880-1919). Lilly’s first husband Charles Baylee Grove had been a captain in the British merchant service; they married in 1877, he died in January 1889. Lilly was a French teacher who produced French schoolbooks and plays and promoted the use of phonographic records in the teaching of languages. Her publications include “Scenes of Familiar Life” (1896), “Berthes aux grands pieds” (1902), “Histoire de Monsieur Blanc” (1910), and “Je sais un conte” (1911). She was working on a book on the history of dance when she met Frazer (“Dancing”, 1895), and later wrote a book for children based on “The Golden Bough”, entitled “Leaves from the Golden Bough” (1924). She also translated one of his books, “Adonis” in 1921, and several works by French scholars, including Albert Houtin’s “A Short History of Christianity” (1926) and François Aulard’s “Christianity and the French Revolution” (1927). In the 1930s she commissioned an operetta based on her story “The Singing Wood”, and co-authored a book with James, a small book entitled “Pasha the Pom: the Story of a Little Dog” (1937).
Lilly had a highly developed business sense, and stepped into the role of James’s manager and press agent, promoting him in Britain as well as the continent, where she arranged for his works to be translated into French. James received many honours, most notably a knighthood in 1914, followed by the Order of Merit in 1925. He was named to the first chair of social anthropology in Britain at the University of Liverpool in 1908, was inducted into numerous societies, awarded a number of honorary degrees, and was particularly pleased by a lectureship in anthropology established in his honour in 1922. He was very often in the news, referenced whenever folklore or myth were discussed, and wrote a number of articles for both academic journals and popular newspapers, including a much-reproduced opinion piece in “The Morning Post” in 1925, in favour of forgiveness of the French war debt.
After James suffered a dramatic loss of sight while giving a lecture in May 1931, he and Lilly travelled to Switzerland for a number of eye operations, which were temporarily helpful, but failed to stave off an eventual near blindness. Secretaries were employed as James revised and added to earlier works in the later 1930s. Lilly became increasingly deaf herself. In the late 1930s, they moved from accommodation in London to 7 Causewayside in Cambridge, where they died within a day of each other: James on 7 May and Lilly on 8 May, 1941.
Custodial history
The Frazer Papers were bequeathed to Lady Frazer by Sir James George Frazer on his death 7 May 1941. Lady Frazer bequeathed the Papers to Trinity College on her death the next day, 8 May 1941.
The papers were catalogued in 1973. A second group of material, described as having been found after the main index was completed, was catalogued in 1984, appearing as FRAZ/20-33 here.
In 2017-2019, the papers were given enhanced cataloguing records and entered into AToM, an archival database. At that time, material of the same provenance was added to the collection, FRAZ/34-35. This material, Frazer’s travel diaries and notebooks, had been housed on Trinity College Library shelves with printed books. Thirteen volumes and a small number of loose notes had been removed from the papers at the time they were bequeathed by Lady Frazer, and were presented by the College to the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, and then transferred to the Haddon Library of Archaeology and Anthropology. In 2010 these volumes were transferred back to Trinity College. A note has been made recording the previous location of each volume.
The material in the last series, FRAZ 36, were found in the library with other framed items and memorabilia in 2020, and this series was added to the collection in July of that year.
Scope and content
The papers consist of correspondence, writings, notebooks, diaries, music manuscripts, printed material, and photographs which document the life and work of social anthropologist and classical scholar Sir James George Frazer, and to a lesser extent that of his wife, the writer and translator Lilly Frazer (known after June 1914 as Lady Frazer), who acted as his manager and press agent. The collection spans the years 1872-1941, but the bulk of the material dates from the 1920s and 1930s.
Research strengths include Frazer’s writings in the 1920s and 1930s, social anthropology, folklore, classical scholarship, British and French publishing history, and Trinity College academic and social life. The bulk of the collection dates from the last two decades of his life, and therefore contains material from a time well after his reputation was established. While there are letters from people with anthropological data, the collection does not include the vast amount of data and answers to his anthropological questionnaires that he presumably possessed when compiling the first edition of ‘The Golden Bough’. Very often letters with anthropological data are in the form of fan letters, whose writers wish to correct or add to information in one of his books.
The papers are arranged in small and repeated groupings, with alphabetical runs of letters followed by writings and printed material, returning to more alphabetical runs of letters featuring many of the same correspondents as the previous runs, more writings, and research materials, and on. The searching abilities of the database will be useful to find all materials by a person or on a subject.
The correspondence is almost entirely incoming, with just 29 original letters from James Frazer (in FRAZ/1) and 15 typed copies of his letters (in FRAZ/1-4, 16, 25 and 29) and twelve original letters, a draft and four typed copies by Lilly Frazer (in FRAZ/1, 3, 17, 31 and 33) in a collection of over 2300 letters evenly divided between the two. In addition to runs of alphabetically arranged letters, there are also groups of letters on specific topics featuring many of the same correspondents. Letters may also be found with writings and research notes elsewhere in the collection.
The correspondence spans the years 1872-1941, however, the earliest dated letter to or from James or Lilly is dated January 1888. There are a limited number of letters from this early period. Many letters addressed to Lilly concern business related to James’ works, and some letters written in the late 1930s are addressed to her to be read aloud to him due to his increasing blindness.
Anthropologists appearing in the collection include L. C. G. Clarke, Edward Clodd, A. C. Haddon, J. H. Hutton, Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, Bronisław Malinowski, R. R. Marett, John Roscoe, and Sir Grafton Elliot Smith. There are only three letters from Sir Walter Baldwin Spencer, but 16 from his daughter Dorothy Young. Classical scholars in the collection include A. B. Cook, F. M. Cornford, A. E. Housman, J. P. Postgate, Sir William Ridgeway, and H. J. Rose. Principal editors and publishers in the collection include James Loeb, George Macmillan, T. E. Page, and W. H. D. Rouse. Other principal correspondents are David Lindsay, the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres; and Sir Joseph Thomson and his wife Rose Thomson. Many of Lilly’s correspondents write to her in her native French. Her principal correspondents include François Ceccaldi (many of them written from his native Corsica), Noémi Psichari, the daughter of Ernest Renan; translator Pierre Sayn, and James’ friend W. J. Lewis.
Writings by Sir James Frazer comprise 21 boxes, with additional writings to be found in the notebooks in FRAZ/35. The work represented by the most amount of material in the collection is Frazer’s edition of Ovid’s ‘Fasti’, published by Macmillan in 1929, and by Loeb in 1931. The papers do not include notes for the preparation of the original ‘Golden Bough’ nor do they include the manuscript. There are, however, three notebooks containing notes relating to the second and third editions (FRAZ/35/9-11). Frazer’s own copies of the different editions of ‘The Golden Bough’ are housed separately in the printed books Adversaria collection and carry numerous annotations.
Printed material consists of press cuttings, pamphlets, offprints, and small books. An album of cuttings of reviews of the first edition of ‘The Golden Bough’ may be found at FRAZ/22/4. Ten small books and pamphlets have also been catalogued into the Trinity Library printed materials catalogue but remain housed with the papers. The music manuscripts are housed in FRAZ/8 and consist of scores composed by Stuart Young setting Sir James’ poems to music. Margaret Rose’s operetta libretto based on Lady Frazer’s story ‘The Singing Wood’ was similarly set to music (the libretto at FRAZ/32/266 and the score FRAZ/8/1/5).
The travel diaries and many of the notebooks were previously housed on Trinity College Library shelves with printed books and have been reunited with the collection, along with 13 volumes and a small number of loose notes returned from the Haddon Library of Archaeology and Anthropology. The photographs in the collection include 16 photographic prints of sites in Greece possibly taken by Sidney George Owen, two of them dated June 1906 (FRAZ/21/67-82).

Series: FRAZ/1 - Letters (Miscellany) and Letters (A - C) to Sir James George Frazer
Title: Letters (Miscellany) and Letters (A - C) to Sir James George Frazer
ID: FRAZ/1
Date: 1888-1940 (date of creation)
Scope and content:
FRAZ/1-4 consists of four boxes containing just over 575 letters, most of them addressed to J. G. Frazer. The letters span 1888-1941, but the bulk date from the 1920s and 1930s, and primarily concern Frazer’s works and related personal business. An alphabetic sequence of letters spans the four boxes, preceded by a shorter one of 62 letters in FRAZ/1, and succeeded by a collection of 110 letters written to congratulate Frazer on the award of the Order of Merit in FRAZ/4. FRAZ/1 is unusual in that it includes the only original letters from J. G. Frazer in the papers (29 of them: Items 4-29, 39, 42-43); there are also thirteen typed copies of his letters in this box (Items 44-54, 82 and 84) dating from the 1930s, after Frazer’s eyesight failed and a secretary was employed. There are 9 original letters from Lilly Frazer to William James Lewis (Items 30-38), and a copy of a letter from Lilly to Sir John Myres (Item 55). Three other copies of James’s letters from the late 1930s appear in boxes 2-4 (Items 2/95, 3/43, 3/47), and there is also a draft of a letter to Lord Stamfordham in box 4 (Item 119). Two other copies of letters from Lilly appear in box 3: to R. R. Marett (Item 3) and Norman Parley (Item 44).
Physical description: 1 box
Immediate source of acquisition:
J. G. Frazer’s letters to Trinity Master Henry Montagu Butler (Items 4-21) are accompanied by a letter from his son Sir James Ramsay Montagu Butler sending the letters to the Frazers (Item 3), but there is no similar information for the provenance of the letters to William Crooke (Items 136-137), A. E. Housman (Item 142), William James Lewis (Items 22-38), and John George Adami, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Liverpool (Item 143).
A note in the card catalogue describes FRAZ 1/57-61, five letters from JGF to A. B. Cook as ‘xerox copies of letters owned by P. Lazlett, TCC’. This is probably Thomas Peter Ruffell Laslett (1915–2001), Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

Scope and content:
Macmillan & Co., Ltd. - Is pleased Dr Rouse takes a favourable view of the arrangement with the Loeb Library; encloses in duplicate a memorandum summarising the position with the Loeb Library; explains the compensation he had mentioned was only if the Loeb Library had material that had to be abandoned, but as it is all in type, he is not inclined to compensate, as a smaller fee from Frazer would cover the cost of keeping the type standing.

Scope and content:
Woodcote, Godalming - Miss Buckley has sent the ‘Fasti’ with the corrections in slips, will send Frazer a revise in slips; praises the version, sends it to him with pencil notes [housed separately, as FRAZ/21/62]; hopes when he will not make further corrections because of the expense, tells him in private Mr Loeb finds his loss will exceed £200,000; is concerned about the notes, would like to keep the book to one volume, he can be authoritatively brief as ‘your word stands of itself’, and a single volume will reach so many more students.
Accompanied by two pages of notes by Frazer about the arrangements for the Loeb edition (”Critical notes: all or some or none?”) and another with notes about Baldwin Spencer publications by Frazer; as well as the envelope. [Both items were previously housed as Frazer/14/65-69, but logically belong here.]

Title: Letters: (A-V) to Sir James George Frazer, ‘Anthologia Anthropologica’, and the Besterman ‘Blbliography’
ID: FRAZ/15
Date: 1898-1937 (date of creation)
Scope and content:
FRAZ/15 consists of one box of 157 letters comprising three distinct groups: letters to Sir James Frazer on general topics, with a small grouping within it of testimonial letters in support of the publication of Frazer’s anthropological notebooks, followed by letters written to Lilly Frazer concerning subscriptions to Besterman’s ‘Bibliography’. The dates of the letters span 1898-1937.
Letters 1-28 and 45-47 are written to James George Frazer and cover general topics reflective of other runs of correspondence in the collection.
Letters 29-44 are replies to letters asking for testimonials of the utility of the publication of Frazer’s anthropological notebooks, which were published as the “Anthologia Anthropologica” series. The letters are written to Frazer and include letters from influential anthropologists whose letters appear in other runs of correspondence in the collection. Most of the letters have sticky labels affixed to many corners as if they were in an album at one time.
Letters 48-152 are letters written to Lady Frazer concerning subscriptions to Theodore Besterman’s “Bibliography”. It is evident that she has written not only with information on the bibliography but also with a description of Frazer’s blindness and the multiple surgeries, and many correspondents sympathise with his troubles. Many of these correspondents also appear elsewhere in the collection.

ID: FRAZ/16
Date: [after 10 Dec. 1881]-1941 (date of creation)
Scope and content:
FRAZ/16 consists of one box containing 131 letters and two writings which fall into three discernable groups with an unformed miscellany in the middle. Items 1-51 consist of letters written primarily to Lilly Frazer from friends and selected institutions to thank her for the copy of R. Angus Downie’s biography ‘James George Frazer: the Portrait of a Scholar’ published in 1940. The letters date from June to October 1940, and many of the correspondents refer to life in wartime, including R. R. Marett, who writes on 12 June about his son Jack, missing after the attack on the HMS Glorious (Item 34).
Letters 52-70 are letters of congratulation on the award of the Légion d’honneur and date from March and April 1926. Items 71-98 are the miscellany, and include two writings, a group of Frazer’s poems, and a speech made at Queen’s College, London (Items 97 and 98). This group also includes Asquith’s letter offering the knighthood in June 1914 (Item 82), and a typed copy of a letter from J. G. Frazer to Alfred Radcliffe-Brown (Item 74).
Letters 99-131 are the start of the alphabetic run that continues into box 17. The 168 letters in box 17 span the dates 1888-1940 with the bulk dating from the 1920s and 1930s, are addressed to J. G. Frazer and sometimes also Lilly Frazer and primarily concern J. G. Frazer’s works and related personal business. The alphabetic run continues with 22 letters by Warren Dawson on the topic of the Frazer Lectures volume followed by 11 more letters related to the volume which interrupt the alphabetic order, a number of them relating to the question of omitting R. R. Marett’s lecture from the volume. Two letters from Lilly Frazer to James Frazer, the only two letters between them in the papers appear here, Items 48 and 49, dated December 1904.
There are three speeches in FRAZ/17 as well: a copy of the speech by Canon Farrar at Durham University conferring the Honorary Doctor of Letters on Frazer (Item 42), a summary of a speech by René Maunier, President of the French Folklore Society (Item 47); Frazer’s speech on being admitted an Honorary Bencher of the Middle Temple (Item 101).

La Haule Manor, Jersey - Has written to Sir James, not this time to Lady Frazer, that he would ‘lose face’ if the Frazer Lectures volume were published without his lecture; if the objection is Elliot Smith’s language about Frazer, he could suppress those passages as long as it was clear that he did not withdraw from his position concerning them, and suggests some wording to that effect.

Title: Letter from R. R. Marett to J. G. Frazer
ID: FRAZ/17/26
Date: 30 July 1932 (date of creation)
Scope and content:
La Haule Manor, Jersey - Suggested omission of his lecture from the Frazer Lectures volume is inconsiderate; it would suggest that the lecture was unsuitable; cannot explain the situation so frankly to Lady Frazer, ‘who hardly seems to realize its delicacy’; Frazer should take responsibility, not Macmillan, or the editor Dawson; no one ever hinted the lecture was inappropriate; if it were a matter of repeating Elliot Smith’s statements about him, he could make some changes, so long as it is clear that he did not withdraw from his position; everything is very rushed, and if they insist on publishing, then he will enquire what legal right they have to republish the lectures under a title in which he might have a proprietary interest; is prepared to suffer for conscience’s sake, but ‘don’t want to be publicly convicted of sin by the Macmillans’ conscience or even by yours.’

Scope and content:
La Haule Manor, Jersey - Asks if Frazer is proposing to edit [the Frazer Lectures volume], thinks Mr Cornford should decide whether a lecture be included or not; asks if copyright permission has been obtained from all the authors; would like it to appear despite being critical [of Elliot Smith]; gave a Jane Harrison lecture at Cambridge in which he was critical of her work and Professor Haddon praised the lecture for taking Harrison’s work seriously enough to criticise; would like the matter referred to an arbitrator.

La Haule Manor, Jersey - He cannot write in a hurry, so cannot edit his lecture [to tone down criticism of Elliot Smith for inclusion in the Frazer Lectures volume]; she never mentioned the [proposed] omission before; he cannot tell if it is her verdict or that of Sir James; if it is not suitable now, it was never suitable, and that’s not pleasant; is astonished she does not see this.

G. has not said a word; returns Elliot Smith’s letter [which asks that the lecture be published, FRAZ/3/117], which is ‘quite sporting’; would say it again, and [Thomas Athol?] Joyce bought many copies to distribute in America; they should tell Dawson to return to the job; offers congratulations on the Glasgow appointment.

FRAZ/18-19 consists of two boxes containing 225 letters mostly addressed to Lilly Frazer. The letters span 1901-1941, but the bulk date from the 1920s and 1930s, and primarily concern J. G. Frazer’s works and related personal business. There is a more extensive run of letters to Lilly Frazer in FRAZ/32-33, but letters to her appear throughout the collection as well, in part because the subject matter is the same as those to Sir James, as she assumed the role of secretary/agent after their marriage.
An alphabetic sequence spans the two boxes. One item appears out of place: the incomplete manuscript draft of Lucien Lévy-Bruhl’s preface to “La crainte des morts” (Item 107), which is filed after three unrelated letters from Lévy-Bruhl.

Scope and content:
16 Avenue Victor Hugo, Boulogne-Sur-Seine - Thanks her for the amusing Sylvain Biscuit [?] letter and the beautiful verse; his wife thinks her lucky to have an appreciative consort; defends his previous letter’s criticism of Walston, he has seen the Walstons more than once, but found nothing to praise in the ‘Alcamenes’, he will be restrained in his review, but ‘there must be some pepper at the bottom to save my honour as a critic’; mentions a time Furtwaengler [Adolf Furtwängler?] behaved badly to [Walston, then Walstein]; is writing to ‘your Buffon friend’, is home on Sundays, ladies don’t come before 3 1/2, the conversation is never about dresses, servants, or impending divorces; supposes the Slavonic Josephus will come up again at the Loisy Congress, Couchoud’s and Goguel’s articles are very superficial and he sides with Eisler, wishes Frazer would make up his mind about this.

Title: Writings: Album of cuttings to ‘Etudes d’anthropologie biblique’
ID: FRAZ/26
Date: [1932?]-1938 (date of creation)
Scope and content:
FRAZ/26 is the fifth and sixth of eight boxes of papers relating to J. G. Frazer’s writings, arranged according to the date of the publication or creation of the works, dating from 1884 to 1938 (FRAZ/22-27).
FRAZ/26 consists of 2 boxes of papers relating to J. G. Frazer’s works written from 1932 to 1938, arranged in chronological order of appearance. These years are just after Frazer’s eye troubles began in earnest, and appear to show a shift from writing drafts in his own hand to dictation to a secretary at the end of 1934. Lady Frazer’s work as business manager continues to be evident, and letters are addressed mainly to her.
There are manuscript drafts in J.G.F’s hand of two different works: his obituary of his friend, Canon John Roscoe (Item 57); and the 1932 Zaharoff Lecture, entitled ‘Condorcet on the Progress of the Human Mind’ (Items 78-79). A secretary to J.G.F. is likely the hand writing the prefaces to ‘Creation and Evolution in Primitive Cosmogonies’ (Items 97-98) and ‘Etudes d’anthropologie biblique’ (Item 104).

Title: Writings: Letter to Dr Haddon on his Eightieth Birthday to Unidentified Writings
ID: FRAZ/27
Date: [1920?]-1940 (date of creation)
Scope and content:
FRAZ/27 forms the final two boxes of eight boxes of papers relating to J. G. Frazer’s writings, arranged according to the date of the publication or creation of the works, dating from 1884 to 1938 (FRAZ/22-27).
FRAZ/27 consists of 2 boxes of papers relating to J. G. Frazer’s works written between 1935 and 1938, and arranged (roughly) in chronological order of appearance. Some items have been identified as having dates earlier than 1935 and later than 1938, but remain as they were originally arranged. These include manuscripts written in Frazer’s own hand (and therefore possibly dating from the 1920s): the drafts of two poems: “The Bitter Cry of an Anthro-polo-gist, a lyrical drama in two acts” (Item 79) and “The Sunset Dream” (Item 74), notes, suggestions for passages to be used in “Man, God and Immortality” (Item 3), and two drafts of speeches given, one of them incomplete (Items 80 and 81). Other manuscript drafts were dictated by Frazer, who was, by the middle 1930s, relying on a secretary due to increasing blindness.
The work with the most amount of material here is a children’s story the Frazers wrote together in 1937, “Pasha the Pom” (Items 48-58). The typescript draft and galley proofs are incomplete, but the page proofs are complete, as is the short essay, identified as marketing ‘puff’ for the book.

Series: FRAZ/29 - Letters (A-Y) to Sir James George Frazer
Title: Letters (A-Y) to Sir James George Frazer
ID: FRAZ/29
Date: 1872-1940 (date of creation)
Scope and content:
FRAZ/29 consists of one box of 114 letters, most of them addressed to J. G. Frazer. The letters span the dates 1872-1940, the bulk dating from the 1920s and 1930s, and primarily concern J. G. Frazer’s works and related personal business. Over a third of the letters are written in French. The alphabetic sequence is limited to one box, with some previously unidentified letters filed at the end, along with one letter that remains unidentified. There are five typed copies of letters from J. G. Frazer to five correspondents, dated 1937 and 1938, when he was using the services of a secretary (Items 24-28). The earliest letters here are two letters from Archbishop Luigi Josef Puecher Passavalli to Emilie Hyacinthe-Loyson and an unidentified person, dated 13 and 17 April 1872 (Items 52-53). It is unclear how they came into the Frazers’ possession, though the letter filed directly before, from Frédéric Passy to Abbé [Breuil] makes reference to Hyacinthe Loyson’s letters.
Items 112-114 have been removed: they were catalogued with the Frazer papers initially in error, they are are part of the Papers of Sir Walter Greg, GREG 1/196-198, three postcards from [J. S.?] to W. W. Greg, dated 1939-[1942].

Series: FRAZ/32 - Letters to Lilly Frazer A-E
Title: Letters to Lilly Frazer A-E
ID: FRAZ/32
Date: [1900?]-1941 (date of creation)
Scope and content:
FRAZ/32-33 consists of three boxes containing over 750 letters, most of them addressed to Lilly Frazer and almost half of them written in her native French. The letters span 1895-1941, but the bulk date from the 1920s and 1930s. An alphabetic sequence of letters spans the three boxes. Many correspondents may be represented not only by one or two letters here but also by letters addressed to James Frazer elsewhere in the collection. The largest group of letters is from François Ceccaldi in Corsica, a French préfet who signs himself ‘Jack’ and addresses Lilly as ‘Flaminica’ (FRAZ/32/85-201). The next largest collection of letters is from Noémi Renan Psichari, the daughter of Ernest Renan (FRAZ/33/270-305). Other principal correspondents in these boxes are Lauro de Bosis; Lillian de Bosis; David Lindsay, the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres; Arundell Esdaile; Aimé Joseph de Fleuriau; Matthieu Gorce; Arthur Gray; Pauline de Broglie, Comtesse de Pange; Pierre Sayn; Rose Thomson; and Dorothy Young. An original letter from Lilly to Alexandre Moret appears here (Item 26), and a copy letter from Lilly to Hermann Braunholz of the Council of the Anthropological Institute dated 1937 is also here (Item 25).
There are two writings housed with these letters. The first is the corrected draft of “Le bois qui chante”, an operetta by Margaret Rose and Stuart Young, based on Lilly Frazer’s “The Singing Wood” (FRAZ/32/266) which bears no apparent relationship to the letters around it. The second is a printed copy of a letter from Elise Révoire to ‘Madame’, undated, which according to a note in Lady Frazer’s hand, appears in facsmilie in “Famille Troisel”; a version of the letter also appears in “Pasha the Pom” (FRAZ/33/315).

54 Cours Napoléon, Ajaccio, Corse - In the letter of 30 October, he is resigned to the fact that they will find a collaborator for Sir James and have their own requirements; refers to the reception of Lilly Frazer’s books at the local school; writes of Madeleine, recovering from typhoid fever, and her brother, who has just received a doctorate in law. In the letter of 29 Nov. he has agreed to organise the surveys for Varagnac for the Encyclopedie Françoise. In the letter of 12 Nov., he is glad to hear they will be at their club until the end of the year; thinks the translation by Madame Roth is ingenious, but it is hard to match the quality of Sir James’ verse. The achievement of ‘The Fear of the Dead’ is difficult if one cannot reread the documentation and though Frazer has a good memory he should have someone help who can find what he needs and read it to him. All three letters contain news of Martine [Giamarchi, a great niece].

Scope and content:
Three volumes containing notes taken in Athens in March and April, 1890, and a journal of a tour in the Peloponnese and Central Greece from 21 April to 24 May, 1890. In the journal, Frazer makes frequent references to Baedeker and to Pausanias.
The first volume contains 52 pp. of notes made on statuary, architecture, and pottery while visiting the Central Museum in Athens, and from J. H. Middleton’s notes on the Acropolis in Athens and on ‘Temple Management’. This is followed by the start of the tour journal (126 pp.) dating from 21 April to 9 May, in which he travels via steamer from Piraeus to Nauplia, and from there on horseback with his dragoman Weal, to Tsipiana (now Nestani), to Mantinea, Tripolitza, Arachova, and Sparta, where he makes notes from the museum at Sparta and meets [Robert Weir] Schultz and [Sidney Howard] Barnsley. From Sparta he travels through the Langada gorge to Lada, where he meets Aksel Andersson and Henrik Schück, who are interested in folklore; to Mt. Ithome and Mt. Eva, and to Phigalia, where he describes the cave of the Black or Phigalian Demeter; to the temple [of Apollo] in Bassae; to Megalopolis, where he meets archaeologists [William] Loring, [William John] Woodhouse, and [R. A. H.] Bickford-Smith; to Andritsaena and Krestana and to Olympia, where he makes extensive notes. The volume contains two pen-and-ink sketch maps of Sparta, one of Thebes, and pencil sketches of temples, gates, and objects.
The second volume consists of 35 pp., reconstructing his diary of May 10-16, after he lost his notebook at Chaeronea on the 17th. It describes a tour from Olympia to St. Luke’s monastery, to Dhivri, the monastery of Hagia Lavra at Anastásova, to Megaspeleon, to Aegion, to Delphi, where he makes extensive notes, to Arachova, and St. Luke’s monastery.
The third volume consists of 31 pp. of his tour from May 17-24, in which he travels from St. Luke’s to Chaeronea, to Livadia, Thespiae, Plataea, Thebes, Eleutherae and Eleusis to Athens. Once at Athens, he makes notes of an excursion to Oropus and Mt Helicon with [Arthur George] Bather, and a trip to the monastery of Mendeli on Mt Pentelicus, and walking back to Athens, arriving before Bather, who took the train.

Series: FRAZ/35 - Notebooks
Title: Notebooks
ID: FRAZ/35
Date: c 1880-[193-?] (date of creation)
Scope and content:
FRAZ/35 consists of eight boxes of notebooks previously housed apart from the rest of the Frazer Papers. Eleven volumes were housed on Trinity College Library shelves with printed books. Thirteen volumes and a small number of loose notes were removed from the Papers at the time they were bequeathed by Lady Frazer, and were presented by the College to the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology and then transferred to the Haddon Library of Archaeology and Anthropology. In 2010 these volumes were transferred back to Trinity College. A note has been made recording the previous location of each volume.
The notebooks contain notes on books read; drafts of articles, speeches, and introductions; and bibliographical references to be added to later editions of works. They have been arranged in a rough chronological order, according to the date of the publication of the works where applicable, and roughly span the dates 1880-1939. The early notebooks include one evidently from Frazer’s study of the law, ‘Maine’s Ancient Law, Jurisprudence’ (Item 2). Three notebooks relate to the second and third editions of ‘The Golden Bough’ (Items 9-11). The loose notes included with the notebooks arriving back from the Haddon Library are on Vitruvius and on items at the Pitt Rivers Collection at Oxford (Item 5).
