Abstract
IN the short compass of this volume, the author surveys the various sciences referring to man, from anthropology and ethnology to economics and politics, and from psychology to morals. No particular views are expressed, which belongs to the ‘orientation’ type now so popular in the United States. The ‘suggested readings’ at the end of each chapter refer almost entirely to American publications and authors. As a restatement of questions of methods relating to the study of mankind, however, the book makes enjoyable reading.
