A mass of materials relating to every phase of the subject for many peoples may be found in the large general works of Klemm, _Cultur-Geschichte der Menschheit_ (Leipzig, 1843-52); Waitz-Gerland, _Anthropologie der Naturvölker_ (Leipzig, 1860-72; 2d ed., begun 1877); Featherman, _Social History of the Races of Mankind_ (London, 1881-91); and Ratzel, _History of Mankind_ (London and New York, 1896-98). General summaries are given by Adams, "Primitive Rights of Women," in _Historical Essays_ (New York, 1891); McGee, "The Beginnings of Marriage," in _Am. Anthropologist_, IX (Washington, 1896); Solotaroff, "Origin of the Family," _ibid._, XI (Washington, 1898); Nadaillac, _L'évolution du mariage_ (Paris, 1893); Brinton, "Religions of Primitive Peoples," in his _American Lectures_, 2d series (New York and London, 1897); Devas, _Studies in Family Life_ (London and New York, 1886); Lang, "Early History of the Family," in his _Custom and Myth_ (London, 1884); Miln, _Wooings and Weddings_ (Chicago, 1900); and Hutchinson's popular _Marriage Customs in Many Lands_ (London, 1897). An earlier book, inferior though similar in scope to the one last named, is Hamilton's _Marriage Rites, Customs, and Ceremonies_ (London, 1822). Of little value, except as marking the beginning of attempts to write general histories, are Moore, _Marriage Customs_ (London, 1814; 2d ed., 1820); Laumier, _Cérémonies nuptiales_ (Paris, 1829); the anonymous _Hochzeitsgebräuche aller Nationen_ (Swabach, 1783); and Hurtaut's _Coup d'œil anglois sur les cérémonies du mariage_ (Geneva, 1750), compiled from Louis de Gaya's _Cérémonies nuptiales_ (original ed., Paris, 1680). The subject is also treated by Schroeder, _Das Recht in der geschlechtlichen Ordnung_ (Berlin, 1893); Gage, _Woman, Church, and State_ (Chicago, 1893); and Mason, _Woman's Share in Primitive Culture_ (New York, 1894). Mucke, _Horde und Familie_ (Stuttgart, 1895), traces the classificatory systems of kinship to original "space-relationships" in the horde camping-place, and the work is a remarkable example of ingenious though fantastic speculation on a large scale.
