BEING SOME ACCOUNT OF THE METHOD OF LIFE AND MODE OF THOUGHT FOUND EXISTENT AMONGST A NATION ON ITS FIRST CONTACT WITH EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION

With 136 Plates and a Map

Medium 8vo. 21s. net. London. Ed. Arnold.

“Mr. and Mrs. Routledge have enjoyed a most interesting experience, which they have embodied in a volume that should take high rank in anthropological literature.”—Spectator.

“Sympathetic study of the native way of thinking, careful discrimination in the acceptance of evidence, and a full, clear, and precise record of the observations made.”—Athenæum.

“Her (Mrs. Routledge’s) reports are probably the most minute, intimate, and accurate which have hitherto appeared about the position of a female savage in any country....”—Bookman.

“One of the choicest contributions to the study of primitive peoples that have appeared in recent times.”—Journal of the Royal Geographical Society.

“... Enough has been said to show the importance of this careful study of an unspoiled people. It is a book that will be valued by the anthropologist, and at the same time delight a wider public.”—Dr. A. C. Haddon, F.R.S., in the Morning Post.

“The interest of the account itself is enough to attract mere outsiders to anthropology.”—Nation.

“Likely to take a permanent place as a standard work.”—Sir H. H. Johnston in Nature.
