NOTE TO THE SECOND EDITION
In this edition Psyche’s Task has been enlarged by fresh illustrative examples and by the discussion of a curious point of savage etiquette, but the substance and the form of the discourse remain unchanged. I have added The Scope of Social Anthropology, an inaugural lecture intended to mark out roughly the boundaries of the general study of which Psyche’s Task aims at setting forth some particular results. There is therefore a certain appropriateness in presenting the two discourses together to the reader.
