Description: Medicine, Magic, and Religion includes the Fitz Patrick lectures delivered before the Royal College of Physicians of London in 1915 and 1916. This book was written by W.H.R. Rivers and published in 1924 in London. As per the writer this book represents perhaps the first attempt to interpret with knowledge and insights the thoughts and ideas that find expression in Primitive medicine. It is therefore a contribution to the history of Medicine. Importantly, it is a revelation of the human mind and of the fundamental principals underlying the social practices and religious beliefs of the less sophisticated members of the human family.
