"In Croyances, Rites, Institutions, Count D'Alviella gives us the "gleanings" of thirty five years of unselfish, persistent devotion to anthropological and sociological studies... the greater part of this collection will prove more valuable to the future historian of social anthropology than to contemporary scholars who are grappling with the concrete problems of the science... Count Goblet D'Alviella, a senator of Belgium and a professor at the University of Brussels since 1884, is rightly reckoned among the pioneers in the historical and comparative study of religions..."
