Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Strange Peoples The author claims no originality for the matter of this book for young readers on Strange Peoples. He has culled material where he could. His aim has been to present a series of sketches which may render the maps in the geography more interesting and give school children a broader and deeper sympathy with other races and peoples. Indebted to many books, he has been under constant obligations to Verneau's Les Races Humaines and Ratzel's Volkerkunde. Other books which have been helpful will be found listed at the close of this volume. At first the author planned to use only original or new illustrations. It has been, however, impossible to carry out this plan. Less than one fourth of the pictures are really new; it is believed, however, that all are authentic and will prove instructive. It would have been easy to make the book more interesting by the introduction of descriptions, more detailed, of the ridiculous or dreadful practices of some races. The purpose has, however, not been to hold other peoples up to ridicule nor to teach morality by contrast; there are, indeed, too many matters for criticism in our own mode of life to warrant such a treatment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Odd People: Being a Popular Description of Singular Races of Man Perhaps no race of people has more piqued the curiosity of the civilized world than those little yellow savages of South Africa, known as the Bushmen. From the first hour in which European nations became acquainted with their existence, a keen interest was excited by the stories told of their peculiar character and habits: and although they have been visited by many travellers, and many descriptions have been given of them, it is but truth to say, that the interest in them has not yet abated, and the Bushmen of Africa are almost as great a curiosity at this hour as they were when Di Gama first doubled the Cape. Indeed there is no reason why this should not be, for the habits and personal appearance of these savages is just now as it was then, and our familiarity with them is not much greater. Whatever has been added to our knowledge of their character, has tended rather to increase than diminish our curiosity. At first the tales related of them were supposed to be filled with wilful exaggerations, and the early travellers were accused of dealing too much in the marvellous. This is a very common accusation brought against the early travellers; and in some instances it is a just one.

Hence, the nickname, Red Blanket, is applied to a country gentleman, peasant, rustic, or bucolic pleasure seeker. It must not be supposed that Japanese gentlemen, going abroad, are not likely to expose themselves as Red Blankets in the eyes of the Western people.
