Medicine, Magic and Religion: The FitzPatrick Lectures Delivered Before the Royal College of Physicians of London 1915 and 1916 is a book written by W. H. R. Rivers. The book is a collection of lectures that were delivered by Rivers before the Royal College of Physicians in London in 1915 and 1916. The lectures explore the relationship between medicine, magic, and religion in various cultures and societies. Rivers examines the ways in which these three areas of human experience intersect and influence each other, and he provides insights into the ways in which people have sought to understand and control illness and disease throughout history. The book is a fascinating exploration of the human experience of illness and healing, and it provides valuable insights into the ways in which different cultures and societies have approached these fundamental aspects of human life.1924. This work represents the FitzPatrick lectures delivered before the Royal College of Physicians of London in 1915 and 1916. It represents perhaps the first attempt to interpret with real knowledge and sympathetic insight the thoughts and ideas that find expression in primitive medicine. It is therefore a contribution of unique value to the history of medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
