The uncivilized races of men in all countries of the world; vol. 2 of 2

The uncivilized races of men in all countries of the world; vol. 2 of 2 - Being a comprehensive account of their manners and customs, and of their physical, social, mental, moral and religious characteristics

In this volume will be found a selection of the most interesting uncivilized tribes that inhabit, or once inhabited, America and the vast number of islands which lie between that country and the eastern coast of Asia, including among them the great groups of Australia and New Zealand. A short notice is given of the long-perished Lake-dwellers of Switzerland, and the partial civilization of India, China, Japan and Siam is also represented. My best thanks are due to the Geographical and Anthropological Societies, for the constant access permitted to their libraries, and to the Curator of the Christy Collection, for the assistance which he rendered in the illustration of the work.
