Edited, from the FIRST VOLUME of Anthropologie der Naturvölker, by J. FREDERICK COLLINGWOOD, F.R S. L., F.G.S., F.A.S.L., Honorary Secretary of the Anthropological Society of London. Extract of a Letter from the Author to the Editor. "I have received your translation of the first volume of my 'Anthropologie der 'Naturvölker,' and hasten to return you my heartfelt thanks for the great care and assiduity which you have bestowed on the task. I am fully cognisant of the great difficulties you have to contend with, especially as my style, as alluded to in your preface, possesses many peculiarities, so that even German men of science consider the reading of my books rather hard work. All these difficulties you have surmounted with the greatest skill, so as to render my work, as it appears to me, into very pleasing, readable English." OPINIONS OF "A more felicitous selection could not, we conceive, by any possibility have been made than the very one which has resulted in the publication of the book lying bofore us. For within the compass of the first volume of Dr. Waitz's Anthropologie der Naturvölker is compacted together the most comprehensive and exhaustive survey of the new science yet contributed, we believe, in any tongue to European literature. To the English public generally, however, it is a book almost unknown, saving and excepting alone by reputation. Al though merely a translation from the German, therefore, the work is virtually, if not an original work, a perfectly new work to the mass of readers in this country. So far as this same rapidly executed work of translation can be compared and collated with the original, it appears to be a version singularly faithful and accurate.... The book, as it now appears, is a work of especial value, and also one of very peculiar interest. It thoroughly fulfils its design of affording the reader of it, within a single volume, the very best epitome any. where to be found of what is the actual 'present state' of anthropological science in Christendom. Dr. Waitz takes a far wider range within his ken than Prichard and Nott and Gliddon com. bined."-The Sun, Dec. 14, 1863. "The volume in every page exhibits great research; it abounds with interesting speculation, all tending the right way, and the information it presents is happily conveyed in a popular manner." —Morning Advertiser, Nov. 16, 1863. THE PRESS. "So comprehensive is the view taken by the author of all that pertains to man, thata mere enumeration even of the leading topics of the work is beyond our space, and we must content ourselves with recommending its perusal to such of our readers as are interested in the subject, with the assurance that it will well repay the trouble."-Weekly Dispatch, Nov. 29, 1863. "This handsomely printed volume discusses at great length and with much ability the question as to the races of man.... At the hands of Dr. Waitz it has met with calm consideration, and in its English dress will prove both interesting and instructive. It displays great research, and contains a large extent of highly interesting matter.”— Liverpool Albion, Nov. 9, 1863. "From such a bill of fare, our readers will be able to judge that the work is one of value and interest. . . . It is of the nature of a review, arriving at a comprehensive and proportional estimate, rather than at minute accuracy of detail, such as may be sought elsewhere in each department."-Medical Times, Dec. 26, 1863. "Crammed as full of hard facts as wellnigh 400 pages of large 8vo. can contain all these facts attested by footnote authorities marshalled knee-deep at the bottom of every page; with a list of contents so copious as to eclipse everything of the kind in any recent scientific volume, and yet followed by an index more minute and ample; this work is a magazine of the infant science of Man; a model of German industry, erudition, and philosophical devotion; and a credit to the Society which has sent forth, in a shape so serviceable, what might otherwise have proved a tantalising mass of learned collectanea. ... We have perused this translated volume with alternate wonder and amazement at its strange assemblage of facts, its curious classifications, its marvellous revelations of human peculiarities; and we do not hesitate to say that more food for speculation, a more cosmopolitan and comprehensive glance over all the developments of savage and civilised man has been collected here, than could have been dreamed of by those who may not have given it a perusal." Dorset County Chronicle, Nov. 18, 1863. "Dr. Waitz would appear to have collected together all the authorities and contradictory statements of former writers. ... The present work will be hailed with pleasure by all who are interested in the study of anthropology, and will, it is hoped, induce a more universal acquaintance with the science."-Observer, Nov. 8, 1863.. "The Anthropological Society of London have done well in publishing a translation of Dr. Waitz's Anthropo. logie der Naturvölker, of which this volume is the first instalment. Dr. Waitz's work is by far the most complete that exists on the subject of which it treats. It is the fullest col. lection of facts, interwoven with, and made to bear upon, all the theories (and their name is legion) which have been advanced in explanation of the endless diversities and resemblances that exist among mankind. Dr. Waitz himself is wedded to no particular theory, and in this volume, at least, advances none, but he points out with great clearness the effects that may be fairly attributed to the various influences, external and internal, physical and psychical, which affect the human form and national character."-The Press, Dec. 5, 1863. "This volume will help to put the science of anthropology in a proper light before the scientific men of this country. Whatever faults we may have to find with this work, we feel sure that its publication marks an epoch in the study of anthropology in this country. The anthropologist can now say to the inquirer, Read and study Waitz, and you will learn all that science has yet to reveal."-Anthropological Review, No. 3. "The Anthropological Society deserve great praise for the energy and activity they display in prosecuting their object.... We find in this volume a fair statement and discussion of the questions bearing on the unity of man as a species, and his natural condition.. He gives a very clear account of the different views held on these questions, and a full collection of the facts, or supposed facts, by which they are supported. The chief fault of the book is, indeed, this very fulness and fairness in collecting all that can be said on both sides of a question.... We must regard the work as a valuable addition to the books on this subject already in our language, and as likely, by the thought and inquiry it must suggest, to promote the great end of the Society-a truer and higher knowledge of man, his origin, nature, and destiny."-The Scotsman, Dec. 7, 1863. "We need hardly say, that it is quite out of our power to give any detailed account of this volume. It is itself a volume of details. Its nature, character, and value, may be gleaned from the criticism bestowed upon it by the Anthropological Society, and by the fact of its being their first offering to their members. There can be no doubt that it is the best epitome of matters anthropological now contained in our language; and will be of great service to the student as a book of reference." -British Medical Journal, December 26, 1863.
