Address, AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN, Chicago, III. The American Antiquarian TH HE Twenty-Second Volume of this Magazine will begin with the year 1900. The effort will be made to make it the best volume of all. A new and broader scope will be taken, and one which shall correspond with the increase of our national domain and the extent of American influence. The earlier volumes were confined to the prehistoric antiquities of the continent, but nearly every year has brought in a new field of archæological research, until at the present time our American explorations reach to the far East and the far West, and seem likely to meet at some distant point. This makes our double title especially appropriate at the present time. We have already secured the assistance of gentlemen who live in various parts of the world and are making a study of the ancient history and archeology of different lands. They, with others scattered over our own continent, will furnish material which can not fail to be useful, not only for present study, but for reference in the future. The progress of anthropology makes it also necessary that the SUBJECTS treated should be more numerous and varied than ever before. While archæological relics and prehistoric remains are important, yet the material of which our own nationality is already composed, and is likely to be in the future, is so diverse, that we can not neglect the ethnological problems which are sure to arise. Such topics as the influence of environment, the effect of employment, the history of early institutions, the character of ancient art and architecture, different forms of religion and mythology, the customs and habits and inventions of different nations will, therefore, be included within the scope of the Journal. . We have divided the continent into provinces, each of which will be represented by an associate editor residing in it, who will furnish information as to all discoveries and explorations. They will be as follows: The Eastern States, Canada, British Columbia, Northwest Coas', Oregon, New Mexico, and Central America, Peru and the Philippines. The various countries of the East-Egypt, Palestine, Assyria, Babylonia and the classic lands will be represented by gentlemen, who are officially connected with Exploration Funds, or who reside in the land about which they write. We may say that the equipment for work is a strong one, and we believe that the next volume will be one worthy of the era which it is designed in a sense, to commemorate. We solicit the patronage of the public, and hope that we shall have the support of all who are interested in the subject of art and archæology, and especially of the institutions which have for their object the increase of intelligence. The Magazine Will Be Well Illustrated. ++ THE AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN, and Pueblos. BY Stephen D. Peet, Ph. D. Editor of the American Antiquarian. Author of The Mound-Builders, Their Works and Relics," "Animal Effigies and Emblematic Mounds," "Aboriginal Religions," and other works. 400 Pages, Illustrated. This book treats of that mysterious people called the Cliff-Dwellers, as allied to the Pueblos, who are supposed to be their survivors. It begins with the description of the Great Plateau and its varied scenery, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado coming in as a very important part. Thə author has quoted descriptions from the geological reports, which are very graphic, and has made the geographical features prominent. The "age" of the Cliff-Dwellers is also spoken of, and their distinctive peculiarities are brought out. Two or three chapters are given to an account of their discovery: First, by the Spaniards; next, by the early American explorers, and later on by the various expeditions which entered the region. The descriptions of the Cliff-Houses are very graphic and are illustrated by many plates and small cuts, which present to the eye, the wonderful architecture and the strange situation of these Cliff-Dwellings. A chapter is given to an account of the distribution of the CliffVillages, and another to the traditionary history. This is followed by the description of the various architectural structures, such as the towers. estufas or temples, cliff-houses, store-rooms, balconies, courts, and various apartments. A comparison is drawn between the Cliff-Dwellings and the different kinds of Pueblos which are still standing-some of them in ruins. A chapter is given to the Cliff Dwellers' relics; others to their social and domestic life; to their agricultural habits; to the contrivances for irrigating; while the final chapter shows the contrast between the CliffDwellers and the Wild Tribes, which at present occupy the region. The book covers the whole field, and describes nearly all of the structures that have been discovered, including those in Sonora, in the northern part of Mexico The customs of the present Pueblo Tribes are also described, especially the Snake Dance, which has become so celebrated, and several cuts are given in illustration. No other book has ever been published which is so comprehensive. It is likely to be the standard work for many years to come. RETAIL PRICE, $4.00. |
