xiv+296 pages with index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt label to spine in blue lettering. First edition.

In his history of ethnological theory, Prof. Lowie gives a survey of the course of progress in the theoretical study of culture and of the growth of knowledge through the improvement of technique for gathering the requisite information. For these his wide knowledge of the literature of the subject and his critical detachment render him peculiarly well fitted, and he has done so in a most interesting manner. Although the history covers a period of some hundred years, it records the infancy and adolescence of a new branch of learning which only now is attaining recognized scientific status.

Condition: Spine dulled, previous owner's gift inscription to front end paper, corners gently bumped else good to very good.
