51 + [1]pp., 12mo. Stapled, in printed brown wraps. Internally in fair condition, on aged paper; in worn and spotted wraps. A six-page preface, dated 'Trinity College, Cambridge, | 26th July, 1907.', begins: 'Many years ago I printed and circulated privately a set of questions on the manners and customs of savages designed to elicit information on the subject from persons who live or travel among uncivilised races. The present set of questions is a revised and enlarged edition of that work. In drawing it up I have endeavoured to summarise the various lines of enquiry which a prolonged study of savage life has suggested as worthy to be pursued.' A total of 507 sets of questions under 34 headings ranging from 'Tribes, Clans, Totemism' to 'Vocabulary'. The following question is not untypical: '420. Are there any times when people are not allowed to sleep, e.g. when sick or wounded, after cicumcision, after child-bed, before marriage, after a death in the house, &c.? What reasons are given for these prohibitions?' An unusual item, now extremely scarce.
