Excerpt from The Beginnings of Civilization
It may not be amiss to tell how I came to write this little book. Works so much more scholarly appearing from time to time on one or another branch of the theme here dis cussed, some persons may be disposed to te gard my venture as superfluous, if not pre sumptuous.
But, the fact is, I have sought in vain for a work even professing to' cover just the field which it has been my aim to prepare for the use of the reader. In trying to give my his tory classes some idea of the state of human ity before the dawn of history, I have found myself compelled to draw one set of facts from the geologists and archaeologists, an other from the students of myths and folk lore, another from the special students of language and race, and another from the very negations of the antagonists of each or all of these classes of scientific workers.
