Book Description

Excerpt from Studies in Ancient History: Comprising a Reprint of Primitive Marriage This volume is a reprint of Studies in Ancient History as published in 1876, with notes added only where they appeared to be indispensable. It is proposed to follow it up with a second volume containing other writings of the author - writings for the most part hitherto unpublished, and prepared for a work which was left unfinished - from which it will be possible to gather, in a considerable measure at least, how fax the author's views had grown or been developed, how far they had changed or been added to, subsequently to the appearance of Primitive Marriage. It seemed best therefore to attempt no statement about this at present And there was equal reason against doing the same thing fragmentarily in notes.
