(PRIVATELY PRINTED.) UTICA, N. Y. T. J. GRIFFITHS, BOOK AND JOB PRINTER. 1886. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREFATORY NOTE. In giving himself to general reading relating to the origin and history of the human family, the writer of the following pages was impressed with the frequent allusion to man-eating among many of the peoples of the world; and although in itself it is an unattractive subject, and perhaps to some repellant; for his own amusement, and it may be for the instruction of others, he has been prompted to collate some of the references to this unhallowed custom, in a connected form. How well he has succeeded in his effort he will leave it to the reader to determine. The only merit to which he might possibly lay claim is fidelity to the facts as recorded by the historians and travelers of the age. C. W. D. ANTHROPOPHAGISM.
