Westermarck, Edward Alexander. [Origin and development of the moral ideas.] 2v. v. 1. *$3.50. Macmillan.
“A multitude of curious facts concerning the crude institutions of early times and savage tribes awaits the general reader of these pages. About one-fourth of the volume is concerned with homicide, both in general and in its varying forms down to feticide. The philosophic student finds what he has a right to expect from such an investigator ... acute insight and discriminating judgment in tracing the evolution of moral ideas.”—Outlook.
