REST DAYS
A Study in Early Law and Morality
BY HUTTON WEBSTER, Ph.D. PROFESSOR OF SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA AUTHOR OF “PRIMITIVE SECRET SOCIETIES”
“The study of their own species is doubtless the most interesting and important that can claim the attention of mankind; and this science, like all others, it is impossible to improve by abstract speculation, merely. A regular series of authenticated facts is what alone can enable us to rise towards a perfect knowledge in it.”—William Marsden, The History of Sumatra, London, 1811, Preface.
