Translated from the SECOND GERMAN EDITION by

In DR. SCHRADER'S great work is presented to the reader a most able 

 and judicious summary of all recent researches into the Origin and History 

 of those Peoples, Ancient and Modern, to whom has been mainly entrusted 

 the civilisation and culture of the world.

 most important phases The Animal Kingdom, Cattle, The Plant- World, 

 Agriculture, Computation of Time, Food and Drink, Clothing, Dwellings, 

 Traffic and Trade, The Culture of the Indo-Europeans, and The Prehistoric 

 Monuments of Europe (especially the Swiss Lake-Dwellings), Family and 

 State, Religion, The Original Home will be found not only of exceeding 

 interest in themselves, but of great value to the Student of History, as 

 throwing light upon later developments.

 industry, erudition, patience, and, what is rarest of all in these obscure studies, of 

 moderation and common sense." Saturday Revieiv.

 Aryan race. . . . INTERESTING FROM BEGINNING TO END." Manchester Guardian.

 it has, in a happy way, solved the problem how to rouse the sympathy of the reader. 1 '
