APPENDIX 



Spencer's Descriptive Sociology presents an unequalled mass 

 of facts regarding existing primitive races, but, unfortunately, 

 its inartistic method of arrangement makes it repellent to the 

 general reader. E. B. Tyler's Primitive Culture and An- 

 thropology; Lord Avebury's Prehistoric Times, The Origin of 

 Civilization, and The Primitive Condition of Man; W. Boyd 

 Dawkin's Cave-Hunting and Early Man in Britain; and Ed- 

 ward Clodd's Childhood of the World and Story of Primitive 

 Man are deservedly popular. Paul Topinard's Elements 

 d'Anthropologie Generate is one of the best-known and most 

 comprehensive French works on the technical phases of an- 

 thropology ; but Mortillet's Le Prehistorique has a more popular 

 interest, owing to its chapters on primitive industries, though 

 this work also contains much that is rather technical. Among 

 periodicals, the Revue de VEcole d'Anthropologie de Paris, pub- 

 lished by the professors, treats of all phases of anthropology ; 

 and the American Anthropologist, edited by F. W. Hodge for 

 the American Anthropological Association, and intended as 

 "a medium of communication between students of all branches 

 of anthropology," contains much that is of interest from the 

 present stand-point. The last-named journal devotes a good 

 deal of space to Indian languages.

 Professor Maspero is one of the most famous of living Orient- 

 alists. His most important special studies have to do with 

 Egyptology, but his writings cover the entire field of Oriental 

 antiquity. He is a notable stylist, and his works are at once 

 readable and authoritative.
