Abstract
THE deplorably backward state of anthropology in England and India is effectually exposed by the recent publication of Mr. Ling Roth's “Natives of Sarawak and British North Borneo.” Beautifully illustrated, exhaustive in treatment, too expensive to be procurable among working students, and exasperatingly unweildy, it is a monument of shame to us, as a race; the more so when we see that only 700 copies are to be issued, “no cheaper edition” guaranteed! and the beautiful plates to be destroyed!
