x4356 pages with maps tables charts and bibliography. Royal octavo 9 1/2" x 6 1/4" bound in original blue cloth with silver lettering to spine and front cover with a pictorial map. First edition. these essays have been arranged by the author under a series of thematic headings and subheadings. The 30 essays or articles that compose the main body of this work were written between 1945 and 1986. All deal with Americanist subjects. While they are grounded in the date of archaeology many of them are concerned with synthesis ranging from hemispher-wide culture-historical perspectives to those of more restricted geographical scope. Others treat of various matters both substantive and theoretical but all are to some degree of a generalizing nature. None of the articles included here is a descriptive account of site or materials of a preliminary field report. It is the author's attempt to understand and elucidate a portion of that Precoloumbian past which he was concerned with during his career. Condition: A near fine copy issued without jacket.

Royal octavo 9 1/2" x 6 1/2" bound in original blue-green cloth with gilt lettering to spine. First editions.<br /><br />Robert Wood Williamson 1856–1932 was a British solicitor and anthropologist who worked extensively in New Guinea and Polynesia. Originally published in 1933 this book forms one of two volumes by Williamson on the religious mythical and cosmic structures of Central Polynesia. The work was unfinished at the time of Williamson's death but it was considered near enough completion to be published posthumously in its final form. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the development of anthropology and the religious cultures of Polynesia. This work gives a short account of the cosmic beliefs of the natives of Central Polynesia and discusses in detail their ideas as to the nature of the soul and its varying fates and destinations after death. An attempt has been made to show that the original destination was subterranean and was connected with an early volcano-cult associated with the gods Maui and Tiki and probably introduced into Polynesia by Rivers's sitting-interment people; that at later dates new cults associating the destination of the soul with an ancestral home in the west or with some region in the skies were introduced probably by different bands of the kava people who spread widely over Polynesia and had a predominating influence there; and that the three cults became mixed up the early volcano-cult surviving only in a modified form.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Previous owner's name to front pastedown to volume one.
