THE HISTORY OF HUMAN MARRIAGE
BY
EDWARD WESTERMARCK LECTURER ON SOCIOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HELSINGFORS
WITH PREFACE BY DR. A. R. WALLACE
Third Edition. 8vo. 14s. net.
Some Opinions of the Press on the First Edition:—
Edward B. Tylor in The Academy, October 3, 1891.
“A volume which at once takes an important place in the much debated problem of primitive society.... The distinguishing character of Dr. Westermarck’s whole treatise is his vigorous effort to work the biology-side and the culture-side of anthropology into one connected system; and there can be no doubt of the value of the resulting discussions, which will develop further as the inquiry goes on in this direction.”
Spectator, February 13, 1892.
“Mr. Wallace’s eulogium of the author’s clearness of style and command of English will be echoed by every reader. But the book is much more than a clever literary performance. It is by far the most important contribution to our knowledge of a profoundly interesting chapter in human history that has yet appeared.... Not a page is without its interest.”
Athenæum, August 8, 1891.
“We are inclined to concur in Mr. Wallace’s opinion. It must be added that the work is written in excellent English, that it deals with delicate and difficult questions in a tone of faultless taste, that its style is clear and its matter exceedingly well arranged, and that it is readable from beginning to end.”
Mind, October, 1891.
“The author’s equipment, logical as well as psychological, for his task is of a very exceptional order.”
Westminster Review, August, 1891.
“A very able volume on the subject of human marriage, which, in our opinion, is calculated to set the world thinking again with a view to correcting preconceived ideas.”
Times, July 2, 1891.
“Dr. Westermarck brings to the treatment of his subject the accumulated results of very extensive study and the dialectical resources of a powerful and logical mind.... In this judgment (Mr. Wallace’s) we fully concur.... Mr. Westermarck propounds views which are at once novel and ingenious, and supports them with great variety of illustrations and great cogency of reasoning.”
Scotsman, July 6, 1891.
“Scientific precision has rarely been attained in a style more agreeable and elegant by any indigenous writer. Mr. Westermarck’s book would have been deeply interesting even if it had been less well written.... The results of his erudition form a mountain of wealth.”
St. James’s Gazette, July 20, 1891.
“Of the value of his (the author’s) researches ... we cannot speak too highly. His book is in every way deserving of the high eulogy pronounced on it by Mr. Wallace.”
Manchester Guardian, July, 1891.
“Mr. Westermarck has established his position among the first of historical anthropologists, he has thrown light upon many of the unsolved mysteries in the history of the human race, and he has swept out of the way several theories which have hitherto blocked the path to a right solution of the main question at issue.... The book affords a model for future investigators in this field. It is no small compliment to English anthropology that the author has chosen to write his book in English.”
Anti-Jacobin, July 18, 1891.
“Certainly the most valuable of recent contributions to the literature of a deeply interesting theme.”
From a leading article in Liverpool Daily Post, July 24, 1891.
“There is every reason to suppose that this deeply interesting book will find a host of readers even among those who are attracted by facts for their own sake rather than for the theories that may be drawn from them.”
Guardian, November 11, 1891.
“Not only profoundly learned but delightfully readable.”
Warrington Guardian, September 16, 1891.
“A monumental book.”
National Observer, August 1, 1891.
“An invaluable contribution to science, ... and we confidently recommend Mr. Westermarck’s History of Human Marriage, not only to all anthropologists, but to all them that love good reading.”
Sussex Daily News, October 7, 1891.
“One of the most readable works in the whole range of scientific writing.... A comparatively unknown student until the publication of this work, Dr. Westermarck has now taken his position in the very front rank of historical anthropologists. No library of any scientific pretentions can dispense with the History of Human Marriage, and every public library in the country should possess a copy.”
The Critic (New York), September, 12, 1891.
“A work of the first importance.... The excellence of expression corresponds to the elevation of sentiment apparent throughout.”
L. Marillier, in Revue générale des Sciences, September 15, 1892.
“Le livre de M. Westermarck est, sans contredit, l’une des meilleurs monographies sociologiques qui aient été faites, et c’est à l’heure actuelle l’ouvrage le plus complet, le plus riche en informations que l’on possède sur cette question du mariage et celui où l’on trouve la plus sûre et la plus pénétrante critique.”
M. Boule, in L’Anthropologie, November-December, 1892.
“Je ne connais pas un volume où plus de faits, plus de recherches, plus de science, soient accumulés.”
René de Kérallain, in Revue générale du Droit, de la Législation et de la Jurisprudence, May-June, 1893.
“M. Westermarck s’est trouvé du coup écrire un livre qui s’est placé au premier rang du genre, qui a surpris ses contradicteurs et qui déjà fait autorité.... Selon nous, ce livre doit faire époque.”
Prof. Lujo Brentano, in Zeitschrift für Social und Wirthschaftsgeschichte, 1893.
“Ein Werk von erstaunlicher Gelehrsamkeit und ungewöhnlichem Scharfsinn.... Voll und ganz stimme ich Alfred R. Wallace bei.”
