Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Curiosity hand-written into the margins of empire. A practical anthropological field guide. Notes and Queries; On Anthropology gathers terse reflections and probing queries from the late nineteenth century, presented as a compact Victorian anthropology reference that also functions as a cultural observation handbook and an ethnographic study collection. Its short entries and cross-references map comparative ethnology and the recording of human customs and traditions amid the debates of British Empire-era anthropology, while offering clear prompts for social science questions then and now. Useful as a research guide for students and an academic resource for anthropology, it speaks directly to anyone engaged with nineteenth century studies and to readers attracted by Cambridge anthropological notes and field-minded inquiry. Concise enough to dip into but cumulatively wide in scope, the collection encourages comparative reading and patient reflection - qualities that make it both a classroom ally and a quietly absorbing companion for general readers.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. As a historical document it illuminates the methods and assumptions that shaped early field practice and the development of comparative inquiry, offering indispensable context for courses in colonial history, ethnography and social theory. The entries reveal the everyday work of observation, comparison and classification that informed later academic debate; they remain a starting point for anyone asking serious social science questions about how cultures were described and interpreted. Casual readers will enjoy brisk, curious entries that provoke reflection; classic-literature collectors and institutional libraries will appreciate a faithful, readable reissue that honours provenance and accessibility. Whether used as a research guide for students or enjoyed by those drawn to Cambridge anthropological notes and nineteenth century studies, this edition reconnects modern audiences with the texture of Victorian enquiry and the roots of comparative ethnology.…
