die Probennaechte der deutschen Bauernmaedchen_. Leipzig, 1780. [15] For the distinction between sentiment and sentimentality see the chapter on Sensuality, Sentimentality, and Sentiment. [16] Johnston states (in Schoolcraft, IV., 224) that the wild Indians of California had their rutting season as regularly as have the deer and other animals. See also Powers (206) and Westermarck (28). In the Andaman Islands a man and woman remained together only till their child was weaned, when they separated to seek new mates (_Trans. Ethnol. Soc_., V., 45). [17] The other cases of "jealousy" cited by Westermarck (117-122) are all negatived by the same property argument; to which he indeed alludes, but the full significance of which he failed to grasp. It is a pity that language should be so crude as to use the same word jealousy to denote three such entirely different things as rage at a rival, revenge for stolen property, and anguish at the knowledge or suspicion of violated chastity and outraged conjugal affection. Anthropologists have studied only the lower phases of jealousy, just as they have failed to distinguish clearly between lust and love. [18] All these facts, it is hardly necessary to add, serve as further illustrations to the chapter How Sentiments Change and Grow. [19] For "love" read covet. We shall see in the chapter on Australia that love is a feeling altogether beyond the mental horizon of the natives. [20] Rohde, 35, 28, 147. See his list of corroborative cases in the long footnote, pp. 147-148. [21] Compare this with what Rohde says (42) about the Homeric heroes and their complete absorption in warlike doings. [22] _Grundlage der Moral_, Sec. 14. [23] _Wagner and his Works_, II., 163. [24] In Burton the translator has changed the sex of the beloved. This proceeding, a very common one, has done much to confuse the public regarding the modernity of Greek love. It is not Greek love of women, but romantic friendship for boys, that resembles modern love for women. [25] A multitude of others may be found in an interesting article on "Sexual Taboo" by Crawley in the _Journal of the Anthropological Institute_, xxvi. [26] New York _Evening Post_, January 21, 1899. [27] Fitzroy, II., 183; _Trans. Ethn. Soc_., New Series, III., 248-88. [28] That moral infirmities, too, were capable of winning the respect of savages, may be seen in Carver's _Travels in North America_ (245). [29] Garcia _O
