NOTES
In his introduction to this 1865 volume, the author indicates his method by writing that "civilization, being a process of long and complex growth, can only be understood when studied through its entire range." His thesis is that all cultures-both in the present and long ago-have to be studied as parts of a single history of human thought. The result, said the New York Times in a contemporary review, is "a most entertaining and instructive collection of archeological data."
