Book Description

Preface THIS series is intended to present in popular form an account of the progress of Contemporary Science, especially in those departments where our knowledge has recently been enlarged, either by the accumulation of fresh facts, or where new theories have taken the place of others hitherto accepted. This has been notably the case with the subject of the present volume. The last ten years have seen a revolution in the opinion of scholars as to the region in which the Aryan race originated, and theories which not long ago were universally accepted as the well-established conclusions of science now hardly find a defender. In Germany several works have been devoted exclusively to the subject, but no English book has yet appeared giving an account of the state of the controversy, and embodying the results recently arrived at by philologists, archaeologists, and anthropologists. The present volume does not aim at setting forth new views or speculations. It is rather a summary of the labours of many scholars, and a critical digest of the very considerable literature which has now accumulated on the subject. Its object is to present in condensed form a statement of ascertained facts, and of the arguments which have been based upon them. On the works of four scholars, Cuno, Pösche, Penka, and Schrader, who deal specially with the subject of this book, I have freely drawn, often without specific acknowledgment. I am more especially indebted to Dr. Schrader's admirable work, which forms an almost exhaustive treasury of facts and arguments, set forth in a critical and impartial spirit. To this work, an English translation of which is announced for speedy publication, the student who desires to follow out the subject may be confidently referred. Of the anthropologists I have relied chiefly on Virchow, the greatest of the Germans, and on Broca, the greatest of the Frenchmen; but without neglecting other writers, such as Rolleston, Huxley, Thurnam, Davis, Greenwell, De Quatrefages, Hamy, and Topinard. For archæological details constant reference has been made to Helbig's little-known but admirable book on the prehistoric civilisation of Italy, as well as to the works of Keller, De Mortillet, and Boyd Dawkins. 1 Johann Gustav Cuno, Forschungen im Gebiete der alten Volker-kunde; Theodor Pösche, Die Arier; Karl Penka, Origines Ariaca and Die Herkunft der Arier; O. Schrader, Sprachvergleichung und Urgeschichte. I have obtruded my own opinions as little as possible. On the main thesis of the book they are essentially those of Spiegel and Schrader, though in several points I find myself rather in agreement with Cuno, whose ingenious work seems to be almost unknown in this country, if one may judge from the fact that I have seen it quoted in no English book, and found that it was unknown even in the British Museum. I believe the speculation as to the relations of the Basques and Iberians is new. I have also worked out a pregnant suggestion of Dr. Thurnam's the identification of the primitive Aryans with the "Turanian" race of the British round barrows, an hypothesis which seems to afford the most probable solution of the problem of the origin of the Aryans, and this I have combined with the philological arguments of Anderson, Weske, and Cuno, the only scholars who have effectively investigated the linguistic affinities of primitive Aryan speech.
