Beschreibung

viii+343, early ink sig.top t.p., quite inoffensive ('W.H.Rupell'), end gutters cracked but secure, otherwise internally clean, tight & unmarked, no foxing but merest hint of edge browning to t.p., covers clean and minimally worn, sl.sp.end & corner rubbing only, textured cloth with multiple blind-stamped border lines. An important and pioneering work by this modest English solicitor-turned-anthropologist (1835-1910) who died in poverty in Chicago. The best account of him is Rodney Needham's Introduction to his 1967 re-issue of Wake's 1889 'Development of Marriage and Kinship'. The phrase 'comparative psychology' refers to comparison between peoples, not, as now, between humans and animals. Size: 13.5 Cm x 20 Cm. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 003055
