Publisher's Synopsis
Webster's seminal work offers a wide-ranging and in-depth view of the structures, customs, ideas, and beliefs of global societies as they evolved during the time of primitive humanity, with specific regard to social hierarchy, its composition, and its associated rules. The level of specificity seems quote impressive, when one considers that this work was written during a time when world travel was a high-risk endeavor, and the availability of even local information was at a premium.
