This includes 'the substance' of Lubbock's 1867 British Association Dundee meeting address 'On the Primitive Condition of Man'. Less successful than his 'Prehistoric Times', this nevertheless augmented the evidence for human evolution and his view of prehistory. In this he devotes space to an extended discussion of religion (3 chapters) plus chapters on marriage, language and law. Apparently now scarce and 2nd ed. may be preferred academically for its additional material, coming in the same year as the 1st. Despite cover faults internal condition still warrants a qualified VG in my view and it remains an attractive copy.

Lubbock, a prominent British banker and politician best remembered for his scientific writings, was a neighbor, regular correspondent, and disciple of Charles Darwin. In the current work (his second), Lubbock applies Darwin's theory of Natural Selection to human societies, noting analogues between "primitive" cultures and contemporary civilization. In Lubbock's first book, "Pre-Historic Times as Illustrated by Ancient Remains (1865), he coined the terms "paleolithic" and "neolithic." A bright, attractive copy; from the library of Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, a great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson and the last American plenipotentiary to France, appointed by Benjamin Harrison in 1892.
