Fox (A. Lane-, now Major-General A. Pitt-Rivers). This
distinguished student of Anthropology, who ranks foremost
in the knowledge of early weapons, happily applied the idea
of evolution, development, and progress to his extensive
collection, the work of some thirty years. To show the
successive steps he grouped his objects according to their
forms and uses, beginning with the simplest; and to each class
he appended an ideal type, towards which the primitive races
were ever advancing, making innumerable mistakes, in some cases
even retrograding, but on the whole attaining a higher plane.
The papers from which I have quoted, often word for word, in
my first chapters, are (1) ‘Primitive Warfare,’ sect. i.,
read on June 28, 1867 (pp. 1–35, with five plates), and Sect.
ii., ‘On the Resemblance of the Weapons of Early Races, their
Variations, Continuity, and Development of Form,’ read on June
5, 1868 (pp. 1–42, with eight diagrams); and (2) ‘Catalogue
of the Anthropological Collection lent for Exhibition in the
Bethnal Green Branch of the South Kensington Museum, with (131)
Illustrations;’ pt. I. and II. (III. and IV. to be published
hereafter), 1874, &c., 8vo., pp. 1–184. The collection, then
containing some 14,000 objects, left Bethnal Green for the
Western Galleries of the Museum in South Kensington. After a
long sojourn there it was offered to the public; but England,
unlike France, Germany, and Italy, has scant appreciation
of anthropological study.
