Demmin (Auguste), Illustrated History of Arms and Armour,
translated by C. C. Black, M.A. London: Bell, 1877. The
illustrations leave much to be desired; the Oriental notices

Fox (A. Lane-, now Major-General A. Pitt-Rivers). This
distinguished student of Anthropology, who ranks foremost
in the knowledge of early weapons, happily applied the idea
of evolution, development, and progress to his extensive
collection, the work of some thirty years. To show the
successive steps he grouped his objects according to their
forms and uses, beginning with the simplest; and to each class
he appended an ideal type, towards which the primitive races
were ever advancing, making innumerable mistakes, in some cases
even retrograding, but on the whole attaining a higher plane.
The papers from which I have quoted, often word for word, in
my first chapters, are (1) ‘Primitive Warfare,’ sect. i.,
read on June 28, 1867 (pp. 1–35, with five plates), and Sect.
ii., ‘On the Resemblance of the Weapons of Early Races, their
Variations, Continuity, and Development of Form,’ read on June
5, 1868 (pp. 1–42, with eight diagrams); and (2) ‘Catalogue
of the Anthropological Collection lent for Exhibition in the
Bethnal Green Branch of the South Kensington Museum, with (131)
Illustrations;’ pt. I. and II. (III. and IV. to be published
hereafter), 1874, &c., 8vo., pp. 1–184. The collection, then
containing some 14,000 objects, left Bethnal Green for the
Western Galleries of the Museum in South Kensington. After a
long sojourn there it was offered to the public; but England,
unlike France, Germany, and Italy, has scant appreciation
of anthropological study. At length it was presented to the
University of Oxford, where a special building will be devoted
to its worthy reception. I have taken the liberty of suggesting
to General Pitt-Rivers that he owes the public not only the
last two parts of his work, but also a folio edition with
coloured illustrations of the humble ‘Catalogue.’

Gozzadini (Senator Count Giovanni), Di un antico sepolcro a
Ceretolo nel Bolognese. Modena: Vincenzi, 1872. The author
has taken a distinguished place in antiquarian anthropology
by his various and valuable studies of Etruscan remains found
in and around Felsina, now Bologna. I have ventured upon
suggesting to him that these detached papers, mostly printed by
Fava, Garagnani, and Co., of Bologna, should be collected and
published in a handy form for the benefit of students.

Jähns (Major Max), Handbuch einer Geschichte des Kriegswesens

Leipzig: Grunow, 1880. Major Jähns, an officer upon the General
Staff of the German army, has produced in 1 vol. imp. 8vo. (pp.
640) a most laborious and useful work, accompanied by an atlas
of one hundred carefully drawn plates. He quotes authorities
literally by the hundred. The work amply deserves to be
translated into English, but its public would, I fear, be very
limited.

too, is only known by his poetry. Hindu-land is rich in Kama
literature.

Latham (John): this ‘Assistant-Commissioner for Exhibitions’
(1862, 1867, and 1873), who succeeded in business Messrs.
Wilkinson and Son of Pall Mall, and who lately died, gave
me copies of his two excellent papers, (1) ‘The Shape
of Sword-blades,’ and (2) ‘A Few Notes on Swords in the
International Exhibition of 1862’ (Journal of the R.U.S.
Institution, vols. vi. and vii.). With the author’s permission
I have freely used these two valuable professional studies,
especially in Chapter VII. The late Mr. Latham was a practical
Swordsman, and his long experience as a maker of the ‘white
arm’ renders his information thoroughly trustworthy. I wish
every success to his son, who now fills his place in an
establishment famous for turning out good work.

him: ‘I find little to remark upon or criticise. You seem to
have got down far below Tylor, and to be making good your
ground in many matters. If people will only read your book, it
will make them cry out in some way or other. But you require a
populariser, and may have to wait a long time for one.’

Armour as it existed in Europe, particularly in Great Britain,
from the Norman Conquest to Charles the Second, with a Glossary

Edition. 3 vols. atlas 4to. London: Bohn, 1844. The first
edition was published in 1824 without the supervision of the
author, who found fault with it, especially with the colouring.
The next edition, in 1844, was enlarged by the author with
the assistance of friends, Mr. Albert Way and others. It
was followed by Engraved Illustrations of Ancient Arms and
