At the beginning of the eighteenth century sugar in France was still a luxury commodity imported in small quantities and consumed only by the very rich. By the time of the revolution sugar was so popular that riots occurred when its price rose unreasonably. In spite of its importance the sugar business has been largely ignored by historians.

1902BOOKS0070233 volumes; xxviii862 pages with two fold out plates and numerous illustrations; xxxvi1107 pages with numerous illustrations; xxx729 pages with four maps including frontispiece 43 plates which one folds out and numerous black and white illustrations. Royal octavo 9 7/8" x 6 3/4". Bound in half leather with marbled boards. Three of five volumes. First edition. <br /><br />A few general observations on the contents of Gesammelte Abhandlungen are in order. Altogether the set includes 127 separate articles. Most were originally published in such well-known outlets of the 1887-1919 period as ZeitschriJt jilr Ethnologie Globus Science Internationales Archiv filr Ethnographie Ethnologisches Notisblatt Mittheilungen der Anthropologischen Gesellschajt in Wien Verojentlichungen aus dem Kdniglichen Museum filr Volkerkunde Berlin and the proceedings of the various International Congresses of Americanists held during these years. Occasionally these articles on being reprinted in the various volumes of Gesammelte Abhundlungen were substantially enlarged and revised by their author. A few of the most important papers were written especially for these volumes such as his well-known translations with copious notes of the Sahaguntine chants to the gods Vol. I his classic account of Tarascan culture at Contact Vol. III and his important descriptions of the ruins of La Quemada Vol. III and Teotihuacan Vol. V. Breaking them down into categories to illustrate again the great breadth of Seler's scholarly labors approximately 10 are devoted to studies of the Mexican codices 3 to Mexican calendrics 20 to Maya hieroglyphic writing and calendrics 3 to mythology 2 to general Mesoamerican linguistics 29 to analyses of archaeological objects or groups of objects 13 to descriptions always well illustrated of major ruins 6 to accounts of archaeological travels 14 to what might be called "general ethnohistory" 4 to direct translations of Nahuatl texts 3 to recent ethnography 3 to Conquest history I to geography and 4 on miscellaneous topics. In addition to this coverage of Mesoamerican matters which consumes the vast bulk of the volumes 4 articles deal with North America 3 with Central America and 5 with South America Andean region. The small number of articles specifically concerned with Mexican codices does not accurately reflect Seler's contribution to this field since as stated above his major works here were long monographs each thoroughly analyzing a major surviving specimen. American Anthropologist Volume 65: p1100<br /><br />Seler was born in Crossen an der Oder Prussia on December 5 1849; attended Joachimsthalsche Gymnasium Berlin 1863-1869; attended University of Breslau before serving a year of military duty in 1870-71 during the Franco-Prussian War; returned to his studies at University of Berlin in 1871 and passed his Oberlehrer examination in 1875; taught science and mathematics until he was forced to resign because of poor health in 1879; moved to Trieste and began studying linguistics and his interest in Pre-Columbian ethnography and archeology emerged; received his doctorate University of Leipzig 1887; director American Division Königlichen Museum für Völkerkunde in Berlin 1904-22; his published papers and monographs made fundamental contributions to studies of aboriginal American linguistics archaeology native history and ethnography; died in 1922. <br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Corners bumped and rubbed bookplate on front pastedowns spines lightly rubbed.
