Excerpt from String Figures The making of String Figures is a game common among primitive people. Its study by men of science is a recent development, their researches have, however, already justified its description as a hobby, fascinating to most people and readily mastered. The following pages contain a lecture which I gave last spring at the Royal Institution, London, on these figures and their history; to it I have appended full directions for the construction of several easy typical designs, arranged roughly in order of difficulty, and, for those who wish to go further, lists of additional patterns and references. The only expense necessary to anyone who takes up the pastime is the acquisition of a piece of good string some seven feet long; with that and this booklet to aid him, he will have at his command an amusement that may while away many a vacant hour. I have taken advantage of a second edition to insert a few more figures. Perhaps this is a convenient place in which to state, what appears in the text, that the diagrams are drawn as seen by the operator.

Excerpt from String Figures: A Study of Cat's-Cradle in Many Lands This book may be regarded as an introduction to the study of String Figures - games which are widespread among primitive peoples, and played by weaving on the hands a single loop of string in order to produce intricate patterns supposed to represent certain familiar objects. I have gathered together the facts already known concerning these games, and, adding my own studies and the unpublished records of other observers, I have here described and illustrated the methods whereby about one hundred string figures are made. My purpose has been twofold: to interest other students in the subject, in order that additional figures and their methods may be collected among various tribes and races; and to reach a still larger public, that more people may share in the fascinations of the games themselves. The games are certainly fascinating, appealing as they do to young and to old, and to those debarred from all pastimes demanding physical exertion. Moreover, they are not unduly difficuAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from String Figures From the Marquesas and Society Islands Although today there is no association in the native mind of definite figures with their ancient use as patterns for the lashings of canoes, coffins, house posts, adzes and the like, still there is interesting circumstantial evi dence regarding at least one of them (no humu, fig. 14, b). The sacred chant called oho cm 0 M otu-haiki, which was recited for the sacred first born, commemorates the pattern once used for the binding of the child's sacred adz.
