Anthropological Studies #252875

Whatever shortcomings may be discovered in the volume must be attributed to want of skill in the writer rather than to lack of interest in the subject matters treated, which, being selected from what may be looked upon as the romance of Anthropology, cannot fail to attract readers who have any taste for the pre historic development Of the human race, as illustrated not only by the discoveries Of archaeologists in the graves of long-forgotten races; but also by the manners and customs of the savages of to-day, who may be held to continue the slow march Of the ancient world, in the rear of the whirl and confusion of the army of modern progressionists.
