Speaking of Prichard at the meeting of the British Association in Bristol in 1875, Professor Rolleston remarked: “His works remain, massive, impressive, enduring—much as the headlands along our southern coast stand out in the distance in their own grand outlines, while a close and minute inspection is necessary for the discernment of the forts and fosses added to them—indeed, dug out of their substance in recent times.” The services of Prichard in the field of Anthropology have often been compared with those of his contemporary Blumenbach, by whose fame during his lifetime he was overshadowed; but, though the latter was unequalled on the side of physical anthropology, there is no doubt that Prichard had a wider grasp of the subject, and his works formed the cornerstones of Anthropology in England. [Sidenote: =Other Generalisations.=] While Prichard was expanding his thesis, Antoine Desmoulins was writing his _Histoire naturelle des races humaines_, which appeared contemporaneously with Prichard’s revised _Researches_ in 1826. He attempted to discover the origins and relations of the peoples of north-east Europe, north and east Asia, and South Africa, by the evidence of archæology, physiology, anatomy, and linguistics. The work of systematising the mass of anthropological data and producing an orderly scheme must always be regarded as an almost superhuman task, and those who have attempted it deserve our grateful recognition. The next Englishman after Prichard was Latham, who published his _Natural History of the Varieties of Man_ in 1850 (the same year as Knox’s _Races of Man_), and his _Descriptive Ethnology_ in 1859. In the latter year appeared the first instalment of the _Anthropologie der Naturvölker_ of Waitz, the six volumes of which were completed in 1872—a work which largely assisted in laying a secure foundation for the new science. In 1873 Friedrich Müller published his _Allgemeine Ethnographie_. The following year saw the publication of Peschel’s _Völkerkunde_. Ratzel’s great work, _Völkerkunde_, appeared in 1885-88. In America Pickering’s _Races of Man_ was published in 1848, and Nott and Gliddon’s _Indigenous Races of the Earth_ in 1857. Paul Topinard’s _L’Anthropologie_ (1876) is mentioned elsewhere (p. 38).
