Untrodden fields of anthropology : observations on the esoteric manners and customs of semi-civilized peoples : being a record of thirty years' experience in Asia, Africa, America and Oceania . icismworthy of Sudanese negroes, against the regulation of vicein India and at Home, knew what it is to suffer fromthe hideous diseases which are bred and spread by theirsystem, we feel sure they would use their efforts in amore intelligent direction. In our judgment they are EDITOR S FOREWOKD XXXI responsible for the great multitude who go as an oxgoeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction ofthe stocks till a dart strike through his liver; as a birdhasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for hislife. Parent-Duchatelet in his monumental work on Prostitu-tion has the following sentence: What good, in fact, could be effected without theknowledge of these habits and customs ? It will later onavoid groping about, and may perhaps suggest to thosewho shall come after me, some salutary measures thatour generation had not thought of. These words seem singularly applicable to our work,and we appropriate them because expressive, above all, ofour own aim.
