[1618] Vols. iii. and iv. of this treatise (Leipzig, 1862-64) are given to “Die Amerikaner,” and are provided with a list of books on the subject, and ethnological maps of North and South America. Brinton (Myths, p. 40) thinks it the best work yet written on the American Indians, though he thinks that Waitz errs on the religious aspects. Waitz has fully discussed the question of climate as affecting the development of people, and this is included with full references in that part of his great work which in the English translation is called an Introduction to Anthropology. Wallace and other observers contend that the direct efficacy of physical conditions is overrated, and that climate is but one of the many factors. F. H. Cushing discusses the question of habitation as affected by surroundings in the Fourth Ann. Rept. Bur. of Ethnol., p. 473.
[1619] Cf. Quatrefages’ Les Progrès de l’Anthropologie (Paris, 1868), and Paul Topinard’s Anthropology (English translation, London, 1878). Quatrefages (Human Race, New York, 1879) explains the anthropological method (p. 27).
[1620] Given in Popular Science Monthly, Dec., 1884, p. 152; and in the same periodical p. 264, is an account and portrait of Tylor.
[1621] London, N. Y., 1865; 2d ed. somewhat enlarged, Lond., 1869; and later. Part of this work had appeared earlier in the National Hist. Review, 1861-64, including a paper (ch. 8) on No. Amer. Archæology in Jan., 1863, which was reprinted in the Smithsonian Report for 1862, and was translated in the Revue Archéologique, 1865.
This book of Lubbock’s and Tylor’s correlative work probably represent the best dealing with the subject in English; and some such book as Jas. A. Farrer’s Primitive Manners and Customs (N. Y., 1879) will lead up to them with readers less studious. The English reader may find some comparative treatments in the English version of Waitz’s Introd. to Anthropology (p. 284), etc.; much that is suggestive and in some way supplemental to Tylor and Lubbock in Wilson’s Prehistoric Man; some vigorous and perhaps sweeping characterizations in Lesley’s Origin and Destiny of Man (ch. 6); and other aspects in Winchell’s Preadamites (ch. 26), Foster’s Prehistoric Races of the U. S. (ch. 9), F. A. Allen in Compte Rendu, Congrès des Américanistes, 1877, vol. i. 79. Humboldt points out the non-pastoral character of the American tribes (Views of Nature, ii. 42). Helps’ Realmah deals with the prehistoric condition of man.
