PUBLISHERS’ ANNOUNCEMENT.
T h k o u g h the medium of a Prospectus, we have again invited
public co-operation in bringing out a second work on Anthropology
; and it is with no slight satisfaction that we now
publish a larger list of Subscribers than even that received for
“ Types of Mankind.”
Such testimonials of the interest taken by our fellow-citizens
in scientific researches, are regarded by ourselves, as they will
doubtless be by others both at home and abroad, as the best
evidence of the love of knowledge developed in the United
States through our educational institutions.
Under this conviction, we have endeavored to augment the
value of “ Indigenous Races of the Earth,” by sparing neither
exertion nor outlay to make the book itself worthy of the
patronage bestowed upon it. Whether in the number of the
wood-cuts and the lithographic plates, or as regards the amount
of letter-press, it will be found, by those who may choose to
compare the promises made in our Prospectus with their fulfilment
in the present volume, that we have really given much
more than could have been anticipated in a book the cost of
which, to the American Subscriber, is only Five Dollars per copy.
