First sentence: In a previous study, The Vampire: His Kith and Kin, it was my endeavour to trace back the dark tradition of the vampire to its earliest beginnings, until indeed it becomes lost amid the ages of a dateless antiquity, for this remarkable and worldwide belief was very present with primitive man, and is notably significant in the daily customs and practice both tribal and domestic-more especially in the funeral rites and sepulchral houses-of furthest aboriginal and most savage indigene.
