The Story of the British Race
by John Munro
Publisher: D. Appleton and Company 1899
Number of pages: 241
Description:
This little book is the first attempt to bring the important results and views of modern anthropologists before the general public in familiar language and thus redeem the oversight of historians or teachers. Perhaps it will tend to destroy some errors regarding the origin and pedigree of the nation which have infected life and literature for ages.
