Volume 2 of Sir James George Frazer's The Belief in Immortality and the Worship of the Dead (1922) is the Polynesian volume of the three-volume work based on his Gifford Lectures at St Andrews. The chapters describe the ethnographic record of beliefs concerning death, the soul, the afterlife, and the cult of ancestors among the Maori, Tongan, Samoan, Tahitian, Hawaiian, and other Polynesian peoples. This edition reproduces the standard 1922 first-edition text in full.
