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.

long footnote, pp. 147-148.

[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.

"Sexual Taboo" by Crawley in the _Journal of the Anthropological
Institute_, xxvi.

of savages, may be seen in Carver's _Travels in North America_ (245).
