Regarding Ms, Spinazzola's review, while it is of course thoroughly shameful to speak of "Uncivilized Nations", one should, I think, keep in mind that the book was written in 1860 by a man born in 1820, and so should be considered also as a historical curio. A fascinating read.

I haven't bought the book, because by simply searching inside it I encounter the greatest deterrant. Going through the index and finding Chapter IX being titled "Uncivilized Nations" took any further interest away from me.
An author who considers himself a knowledgable person should have a richer vocabulary to define diverse ethnias from New Zealand, South America and so forth. Condemnably shameful.
