PREFACE
The problem discussed in the following pages has occupied my attention for many years, and I have at various times dealt with it in brief essays. Some of these, in revised form and enlarged, are embodied in the present volume:—

The Limitations of the Comparative Method of Anthropology (Science, N. S., vol. iv [1896], pp. 901-908).
The Mind of Primitive Man (Journal of American Folk-Lore, vol. xiv [1901], pp. 1-11).
Some Traits of Primitive Culture (Ibid., vol. xvii [1904], pp. 243-254).
Race Problems in America (Science, N. S., vol. xxix [1909], pp. 839-849).
Psychological Problems in Anthropology (American Journal of Psychology, vol. xxi [1910], pp. 371-384).
