Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

London, Houlston and Sons, [circa 1880s]/ 1847 (expanded edition)/ 1813. Large octavo, xvi, 570, [2] (publisher's advertisements) pages. Dark green cloth stamped in gilt and blind; edges uncut; covers a little flecked and slightly worn at the corners; scattered light foxing; occasional pencil emphases; a few later leaves untidily opened; mild signs of age and use; a very good copy. The first half of the volume comprises a linguistic, anthropological and historical study of the peoples of the greater Indo-Pacific region, including Australian Aboriginal, Polynesian, Micronesian and Austronesian peoples.

Prichard, a confirmed monogenist, sought to demonstrate the common origin of the human races by compiling evidence from a variety of fields, including anatomy, physiology, comparative psychology, linguistics and cross-cultural studies. He theorized that the earliest races of mankind had been dark-skinned, and that the black races, far from representing a degeneration from white "perfection," were the origin from which the white races had sprung' (Garrison-Morton 159). Provenance: Central Board of Health, Adelaide, with its contemporary bookplate on the front pastedown.…
