Cosmo Dictionary of Races or Peoples

In the preparation of the dictionary, the author states, it was neither the plan nor the purpose to attempt an original discussion of anthropology or ethnology, but rather to bring together from the most reliable sources such existing data as it was believed would be useful in promoting a better understanding of the many different racial elements of the world. The dictionary treats of more than six hundred subjects, covering all the important and many of the obscure branches or divisions of the human family. The most comprehensive, up-to-date reference of its kind, the Dictionary also maintains user-friendliness through out. This combination ensures that it will serve as the definitive work for years to come. It has a clear and functional design, and highly readable style.
