Abstract:
MY esteemed friend, Dr. B.Malinowski has asked me to write a preface to hisbook, and I willingly comply with his request, though I can hardly think that anywords of mine will add to the value of the remarkable record of anthropologicalresearch which he has given us in this volume. My observations, such as they are,will deal partly with the writer's method and partly with the matter of his book
