Abstract
"The aim of the following essays is simply to group together facts so that, with a slender thread of commentary, they may present certain phases of human society and progress which are not without interest for the student of history and of man. the authorities for all statements have been scrupulously cited, and it will be seen hat, for the most part they are drawn form original sources. The conclusion the reader can verify for himself..." -Preface
