Abstract
BELIEVING that after thirty years of labour his opportunities for observation are not likely to add much to his store of facts, or materially alter their significance in his own eyes, Dr. Beddoe has brought together his numerous contributions to the ethnology of the British Isles, and, with the addition of much new matter, has arrayed them before us in such a manner as to show his own conclusions, and to form “some small part of a solid platform” whereon future anthropologists, with antiquaries and philologists, may ultimately build a more complete and certain structure.
The Races of Britain; a Contribution to the Anthropology of Western Europe.
By John Beddoe. (London: Trübner; Bristol: Arrowsmith. 1885.)
