A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Let ns hiok over the gronud whence -we came. We liavc been considering the growth of man in cnltnre. Our first volume is devoted to the consideration of the prehistoric period of mans lifo This jieriod, which is widely different in the various nations of tlie world, covers by far the largest portion of jnan slife. A side from gathering information of a most interesting character on the antiquities of our own country, we wish to establish the general proposition that mans life on the glolx dates from a most profnnid antirpiity, going laek indeed to a previous geological age; and wc wished to show that man has lived a life of progress. The second volume we divided into two parts. AV cdiscussed the divisions of men into races, the l)asis of classification, the most probable place of mans first appearance, and the condition of primitive man in culture. We aimed to trace out the origin of various social and governmental institutions. Not resting satisfied with the general statements that tribal society preceded our present form of government, we souglit for the origin of tribal society itself. We took up and discussed various rpiestions relating tii primitive culture and primitive religion not usually considered in historical books. Yet their consideration is most essential in a history of culture.
