A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the preface toT he Evolution of Morality, published in 1878, reasons were given for dealing only incidentally in that work with sexual morality. The justification for the course then pursued is to be found in the present volume, which could not then have been written; although the second edition of Dr J. F. ML ennan sP rimitive Marriage had appeared in 1876, with certain additions, under the title of Studies in Ancient History, and in 1877 had been published Dr Lewis H. Morgan sA ncient Society, which severely criticised Dr ML ennan sviews. It was not until the appearance, in 1880, of the result of the enquiries made by the Rev. Lorimer Fison and Mr A. W. Howitt into the system of marriage and relationship in use among the aborigines of A ustralia, under the title of Kamilaroi and Kurnai, that a serious attempt to deal with the whole subject of sexual morality was possible. Such an attempt is made by the present work, during the preparation of which I have had the advantage of corresponding with Mr Fison, with reference to the Australian system, and I have to thank him and Mr Howitt for their ready consent to my making use of information received from them. If Dr J. F. ML ennan had lived, however, this work might not have appeared.
