A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Edward S. Morse In 1885 I published, in the Proceedings of the Essex I nstitute, a paper entitled Ancient and Modern Methods of Arrow Release. From the difficulty I found in ascertaining the various attitudes of the hand in drawing the bow I began to realize that no one had made a study of the subject and that I had made a discovery. Prof. E. B. Tylor, the distinguised author of Prehistoric Times, in acknowledging the receipt of a copy of my paper, wrote me as follows: It is wonderful how much there is to be learned by close examination into points that at first sight do not seem as if they wanted any. I had no idea till I looked at your sketches that there were systematic differences among peoples in their way of discharging their arrows. The main facts, with their illustrations, quickly appeared in Russian, German, Dutch and French reviews and were republished in England and started a number of investigators on the subject. In the Memoir, which has been out of print for some years I asked for information on the subject particularly concerning savage people, as I regarded my work as only a preliminary outline of the subject. As a result of this appeal In the Badminton Library. A rchery, C. J. Longman, Esq., says (p. 76) In discussing methods of drawing the bow occasion will frequently arise to refer to the pamphlet by Prof. Morse, as he was the first to investigate the subject. His researches on a seemingly trivial matter have a high ethnographic interest, and his classification is so sound that it must form the basis of any further researches on the subject.
