Synopsis

On A Method Of Investigating The Development Of Institutions: Applied To Laws Of Marriage And Descent is a book written by Edward Burnett Tylor, a prominent British anthropologist and ethnologist. The book was originally published in 1889 and explores Tylor's ideas on the development of social institutions, specifically laws related to marriage and descent. Tylor argues that social institutions are not static, but rather evolve over time through a process of cultural evolution. He proposes a method of investigating this development by examining the similarities and differences between institutions across different cultures and historical periods. In the book, Tylor applies this method to the study of marriage and descent laws, analyzing how these institutions have developed and changed over time in various societies around the world. He also discusses the role of religion, kinship, and other cultural factors in shaping these laws. Overall, On A Method Of Investigating The Development Of Institutions is an important work in the field of anthropology and provides valuable insights into the evolution of social institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
