Excerpt from The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State: In the Light of the Researches of Lewis H. Morgan; With an Appendix, a Newly Discovered Case of Group Marriage (1892)

Morgan's great merit lies in having discovered and reconstructed this prehistoric foundation of our written history in its main features, and in having found in the groups based on sex of the North American In dians the key to the most important, hitherto insoluble, riddles of the earliest Greek, Roman and German history. His book, however, was not the work of one day. He grappled with his material for nearly forty years until be completely mastered it. That is why his book is one of the few epoch-making works of our time.
