In "Anthropology," Daniel G. Brinton crafts a pioneering exploration of the human experience, intertwining ethnology, archaeology, and linguistics to provide a holistic overview of cultural evolution. Brinton'Äôs literary style is characterized by clarity and rigor, employing a systematic approach that reflects the burgeoning field of anthropology in the late 19th century. The book situates itself within a transitional period where naturalistic inquiry began to dominate the humanities, making it a seminal text for understanding the foundations and methodologies that would shape future anthropological studies. Born in 1837, Daniel G. Brinton was a key figure in American anthropology, heavily influenced by his vast travels and engagement with Indigenous cultures. His scholarly pursuits stemmed from a profound commitment to understanding human diversity and the social fabric that binds various cultural expressions. Brinton'Äôs background in medicine and natural sciences underscored his text's empirical rigor, pushing against contemporary ethnocentric views and advocating for the appreciation of cultural variances across civilizations. I highly recommend "Anthropology" to anyone interested in the origins of anthropological thought and its implications on modern social sciences. Brinton'Äôs insights not only illuminate the cultural dynamics of his time but also resonate with ongoing debates in contemporary anthropology, making this work an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

ANTHROPOLOGY:AS A SCIENCEANDAS A BRANCH OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
BY DANIEL G. BRINTON, A.M., M.D., LL.D.,PROFESSOR OF AMERICAN ARCHÆOLOGY AND LINGUISTICS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND OF GENERAL ETHNOLOGY AT THE ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES, PHILADELPHIA; CORRESPONDING MEMBER OF THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETIES OF WASHINGTON, NEW YORK, PARIS, BERLIN, ST.

PREFATORY NOTE.
This very brief presentation of the claims of Anthropology for a recognized place in institutions of the higher education in the United States will, I hope, receive the thoughtful consideration of the officers and patrons of our Universities and Post-Graduate Departments.
The need of such a presentation was urged upon me not long since by the distinguished president of a New England University. Impressed with the force of his words, I make an earnest appeal to our seats of advanced learning to establish a branch of Anthropology on the broad lines herein suggested. It may be but one chair in their Faculties of Philosophy; but the rightful claims of this science will be recognized only when it is organized as a department by itself, with a competent corps of professors and docents, with well-appointed laboratories and museums, and with fellowships for deserving students.
Who is the enlightened and liberal citizen ready to found such a department, and endow it with the means necessary to carry out both instruction and original research?
I do not plead for any one institution, or locality, or individual; but simply for the creation in the United States of the opportunity of studying this highest of the sciences in a manner befitting its importance.
