Abstract
(1) PROF. ELLIOT SMITH'S little book, though not the first in order of publication, is the introductory volume in the series “The Beginning of Things.” In his prefatory remarks he explains that the object of the series is the publication of a number of volumes, each dealing with some aspect of culture from a common point of view. What this point of view is, it is the purpose of the introductory volume to demonstrate.
