About This Item
London: George Redway, 1889. 1st Edition . Dark Red Cloth. VG-. 15 Cm x 23 Cm. xii+484, 2 unf.tables; uncut edges, browning to endpapers, half-title and last p., in at least two places a strip along bottom edge of facing pp.is apparently dust-stained, also bottom t.p.,but this is only a minor, and somewhat inexplicable, fault especially as half-title/t.p. top edge is unopened. Internally clean, tight & unmarked otherwise in minimally worn covers, generally clean but a few surface marks and patches of sl.discol.to front. Not perfect but despite faults still rates near VG. An important work, largely forgotten until Rodney Needham's 1967 reissue which anticipated later anthropological ideas regarding analysis of kinship.
