Editorial blue cloth with bright gilt lettering on spine, minimal traces of wear, tiny creases at head and tail, small bookshop label on pastedown, private library stamp on endpaper and number on spine, internally in excellent conditions, overall a nice VG copy. From the Preface of the first edition: “The object of the present volume is to collect and discuss the available evidence as to the genesis of the system of male kinship, with the corresponding laws of marriage and tribal organisation, which prevailed in Arabia at the time of Mohammed .”.
