As the plan of study here proposed is largely that which I have pursued
and developed in my own lectures and published works on the subject, I
may be permitted to insert the following list of these:--
_Anthropology and Ethnology._ 4to, pp. 184. In Vol. I of the
Iconographic Encyclopaedia (Philadelphia, 1886).
_Prehistoric Archaeology._ 4to, pp. 116. In Vol. II of the
Iconographic Encyclopaedia (Philadelphia, 1886).
_Races and Peoples; Lectures on the Science of Ethnography._ 8vo,
pp. 313 (N. D. C. Hodges, New York, 1890).
_The American Race; a Linguistic Classification and Ethnographic
Description of the Native Tribes of North and South America._ 8vo,
pp. 392 (N. D. C. Hodges, New York, 1891).
In addition to these I would name the following as among the best works
for the student of this branch:--
_Anthropologische Methoden._ By Dr. Emil Schmidt (Leipzig, 1888).
_Elements d'Anthropologie Generale._ By Dr. Paul Topinard (Paris).
Also L'Homme dans la Nature (Paris, 1891), by the same author.
_Precis d'Anthropologie._ By Hovelacque and Herve (Paris).
_Allgemeine Ethnographie._ By Friederich Mueller.
_Die Urgeschichte des Menschen._ By Moritz Hoernes (Leipzig, 1891).
_La Prehistorique Antiquite de l'Homme._ By G. de Mortillet
(Paris).
_Anthropology._ By Dr. Tylor (New York).
_Elements[TN-2] de Sociologie._ By Ch. Letourneau (Paris).
To this list I add the names of some others of the distinguished foreign
living writers on various departments of Anthropology:--
In France: Bertrand, Collignon, Letourneau, de Nadaillac. In
England: Buckland, Flower, Gallon, M. Mueller. In Germany: Andree,
Bastian, Meyer, F. Mueller, Ranke, Schaafhausen, Steinthal, Virchow,
Ratzel, Gerland. In Italy: Giglioli, Mantegazza.
It is highly likely that many modifications and improvements on this
scheme will suggest themselves to instructors; but I may say for it that
it is the carefully considered result of a comparison of the methods
employed in the European schools, combined with a personal experience of
some years in the presentation of the topics to classes.
Of course, the amount of attention which will be given to the separate
divisions of the subject will depend on the position which the branch
occupies in the student's plan of studies--whether a major or a minor.
If the latter, he should attend a course of thirty or forty lectures
about equally divided between the four headings under which the science
is here presented, and should give double as many hours to laboratory
work.
This is the minimum which would give him any adequate notion of the
science. If, on the other hand, it be taken as a major, or principal
subject, the greater part of his time for two or three years will be
fully occupied in preparing himself for independent work, or for the
instruction of others.
