_Extract of a Letter from the Author to the Editor._
“I have received your translation of the first volume of my
‘_Anthropologie der Naturvölker_,’ and hasten to return you my
heartfelt thanks for the great care and assiduity which you have
bestowed on the task. I am fully cognisant of the great difficulties
you have to contend with, especially as my style, as alluded to in
your preface, possesses many peculiarities, so that even German men
of science consider the reading of my books rather hard work. All
these difficulties you have surmounted with the greatest skill, so as
to render my work, as it appears to me, into very pleasing, readable
English.”
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
“A more felicitous selection could not, we conceive, by any possibility
have been made than the very one which has resulted in the publication
of the book lying before us. For within the compass of the first volume
of Dr. Waitz’s _Anthropologie der Naturvölker_ is compacted together
the most comprehensive and exhaustive survey of the new science yet
contributed, we believe, in any tongue to European literature. To the
English public generally, however, it is a book almost unknown, saving
and excepting alone by reputation. Although merely a translation from
the German, therefore, the work is virtually, if not an original work,
a perfectly new work to the mass of readers in this country. So far
as this same rapidly executed work of translation can be compared and
collated with the original, it appears to be a version singularly
faithful and accurate.... The book, as it now appears, is a work of
especial value, and also one of very peculiar interest. It thoroughly
fulfils its design of affording the reader of it, within a single
volume, the very best epitome anywhere to be found of what is the
actual ‘present state’ of anthropological science in Christendom. Dr.
Waitz takes a far wider range within his ken than Prichard and Nott and
Gliddon combined.”--_The Sun_, Dec. 14, 1863.
“The volume in every page exhibits great research; it abounds with
interesting speculation, all tending the right way, and the information
it presents is happily conveyed in a popular manner.”--_Morning
Advertiser_, Nov. 16, 1863.
