Encyclopaedia of Social History of Human Races

To the Social History of Human Races ten years of constant application have been devoted to the collection of materials, and this time has been passed in the best libraries of Europe and America, where the most authentic authors who have written in any of the languages of the civilised world have been examined, either in the original or in translations. The authorities have been thoroughly studied; the facts have been selected with critical discernment, and no doubtful or incredible statements are admitted in the text unless controverted in a footnote. No sacrifice of time and labour has been spared to make the work as complete as possible. Each volume is entirely independent of all the others, and is perfect and complete in itself. The work will present a high interest not only to scientific men but to the general reader.
