Abstract
THE Cambridge University Press have done well in publishing this work. Such translations are valuable not only to the historian but also to the ethnologist; perhaps more so to the latter than the former, as the very myths with which a people are apt to adorn their own history may become, in the hands of a cunning ethnologist, a clue to their racial connections. Dr. Wright's Introduction is based on personal inquiry and observation, is written intelligently and candidly, and adds much to the value of the volume. The coloured lithographic plates are interesting.
