Excerpt from The Iroquois Book of Rites, Vol. 2
The chief value of the Book of Rites, however, is ethno logical, and is found in the light which it casts on the political and social life, as well as on the character and capacity, Of the people to whom it belongs. We see in them many Of the traits which Tacitus discerned in our ancestors of the German forests, along with some qualities Of a higher cast than any that he has delineated. The love Of peace, the sentiment of human brotherhood,. The strong social and domestic affections, the respect for law, and the reverence for ancestral greatness, which are apparent in this Indian record and in the historical events which illustrate it.
