" This book is a monument of careful and profound scholarship. There is nothing about it 

 superficial. Whether the reader agrees with or dissents from its arguments and conclusions, he 

 will carry throughout its perusal a sympathetic and never-abating admiration for its honesty of 

 purpose and for the wide learning of its author." — National Geographic Magapiie. 



" The mere assorting and arranging of this mass of investigation is one requiring peculiar abili- 

 ties in selection and perception. The method employed by iJr. Ripley to bring this large subject 

 to general attention is admirable, clear, and concise. Tlie text develops tiie theme in simple, 

 direct language ; the sketch maps are clear, and tell their story almost at a glance. . . . Tiie 

 work is a monument of scholarship and accuracy, 

 and is easily first among similar volumes." — Phila- 

 delphia Public Ledger. 



"A valuable and an interesting book. . . . 

 Will attract the attention of all students of anthro- 

 pology and all its kindred subjects. While it will 

 most deeply interest advanced scholarly readers, it 

 at the same time abounds in value for those not 

 among the learned classes." — Chicago Inter-Ocean. 



" This racial geography of Professor Ripley's 

 will recommend itself to the consideration of all 

 anthropologists. " — Centralblatt, I.eipsic. 



"This is indeed one of the best studies of its 

 kind. ... It is accompanied by finely executed 

 maps." — Indicateur, Paris.
