Second Edition Revised and Enlarged Second Edition: 2 volumes, 557 + 660 pages, illustrated throughout with photographs and sketches, title page vignette, library stamps on the title page – uncancelled in volume 2,pictorial green cloth titled gilt on the upper covers and spines which are faded and worn along the edges, volume 2 has indentations on the upper cover, a good set of the second and best edition
Schapera (I.) Select Bibliography of South African Native Life and Problems, Ethnology 683 (page 106), 'Deservedly ranked as one of the greatest monographs on the ethnography of Africa. Under the headings 'life of the individual; family and village life; national life; agricultural and industrial life; literary and artistic life; religious life and superstitions,' it gives well nigh exhaustive account of Tonga culture, distinguished especially by its many concrete illustrations of individual variation and of the changes due to the impact of Western civilization. The book is not altogether beyond criticism, and the section on political life is by no means as full as could have been wished, but as a whole it is a magnificent piece of work’.
