 Gregory, D. Sc, F. G. S.; and R. Lydekker, F. R. 

 S., F. G. S., F. Z. S., etc.; Assisted by Eminent Spe- 

 cialists. A Popular Illustrated Account of the Customs, 

 Habits, Pursuits, Feasts, and Ceremonies of the Races 

 of Mankind throughout the World. 600 Illustrations 

 from Life. One volume, royal 8vo. $500 "^^ > 

 postage, 65 cents additional. 



The publication of this magnificent and unique work is peculiarly 

 opportune at this moment, when the trend of political expansion is breaking 

 down barriers between races and creating a demand for more intimate 

 knowledge of the various branches of the human family than has ever 

 before existed. 



Mr. H. N. Hutchinson is the general editor ; he is well known as a 

 fertile writer on anthropological subjects, and has been engaged for several 

 years in collecting the vast amount of material (much of it having been 

 obtained with great difficulty from remote regions) herewith presented. 

 The pictures speak for themselves, and certainly no such perfect or complete 

 series of portaits of living races has ever before been attempted. The 

 letter-press has been prepared so as to appeal to tiie widest public possible. 



In " The Living Races of Mankind " attention is confined to a popular 

 account of the existing peoples of the world. The various authors describe 

 how the widely scattered members of the great fraternity live ; what they 

 do ; their habitations, dress, ornaments, and weapons ; their religious feasts, 

 ceremonies, and superstitions ; their general characteristics, manners, and 

 customs in their daily relations with one another. 



The superb illustrations are a new departure, and form a most 

 important feature. They are accurate and beautiful reproductions of 

 photographs from life and they form a collection not likely to be secured 

 again in the course of the coming century.
