 tul and profound scholarship. There is

" The mere assorting and arranging 

 of this mass of investigation is one re- 

 quiring peculiar abilities in selection and perception. The method em- 

 ployed by Dr. Ripley to bring this large subject to general attention is 

 admirable, clear, and concise. The text develops the theme in simple, 

 direct language ; the sketch maps are clear, and tell their story almost at 

 a glance. . . . The work is a monument of scholarship and accuracy, 

 and is easily first among similar volumes." — Philadelphia Public Ledger. 

 "A valuable and an interesting book. . . . Will attract the attention 

 of all students of anthropology 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. "^C///V(7_^^o Inter-
