Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
First published in 1891, this book was the earliest attempt to
construct a systematic classification of all the indigenous
languages of the Americas, focusing particularly on the
relationship between culture and grammar and vocabulary. It
addresses the various theories of the origins of the American race,
and the archaeological evidence for the presence of humans in the
Americas. It discusses geologists' opinions and the physical
geography of the Americas in relation to Europe, and considers the
physical characteristics of the Native Americans, their culture,
religion, domestic habits and family organisation, providing a
comprehensive anthropological and historical context for the
linguistic work. Special attention is paid to the parts of the
continent, mostly south of Mexico, whose ethnography was little
known at the time of writing. Each chapter covers a particular
region, and there is a detailed linguistic appendix.
