Description
Excerpt from Handbook of Ethnography
Works like Frazer''s The Golden Bough, Westermarck''s History of Human Marriage, Sumner and Keller'' s The Science of Society, and Briifault''s The Mothers, have entered into the common stock of knowledge of the cultured student of human society. Yet in each of these works, several thousand names of tribes and places are used, and it is an exceptional amateur who can read more than a fraction of these names with a feeling of familiarity. If he be curi ous, he must pursue, like the author of this handbook, the devious path of footnotes and encyclopedias.
