Excerpt from The Iconographic Encyclopaedia, Vol. 1: Anthropology and Ethnology, EthnographyOn the other hand, the ethnographic descriptions of Professor Ger' land will recommend themselves to all by their vividness and accuracy. He has exercised scrupulous care to follow only the best authorities, and by a comparison of various sources to secure exactness where writers differed. His linguistic arguments, although somewhat dry reading to many persons, merit careful study, as they are the net results of wide philological comparisons.It is now universally acknowledged that as an educational aid engravings are of the highest value, and that they add greatly to the worth of a publication as a means of instruction in the school and the family, as well as for private readers. Little, therefore, need be said of the illustrations which form so prominent a feature of this work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
