Excerpt from The Natural History of Man: A Course of Elementary Lectures

The study of the races of mankind in recent times, by the method of Natural History, has given rise to an important branch of knowledge known as the science of Anthropology. Societies have been established in various countries for its promotion, and many learned works have been written upon it in different lan guages. The subject has, moreover, now become one of such great public interest, that it is important it should be presented in its rudiments for the benefit of beginners. In this country, especially, where all the great races of the world-european, African, Asiatic, and American - fare thrown together on an im mense scale, and practical problems of great difficulty arise from the interaction of diverse foreign populations, it is desirable that broad scientific views of the subject should be widely dissemi nated.
