For the Javans and Cochin-Chinese, see Waitz, 'Introduct. to Anthropology, Eng. translat. vol. i. p. 305.
A priori, it is true, there is nothing to prevent those who make great collections of texts and publish critical editions from using their own compilations and editions for the writing of history; and we see, as a matter of fact, that several men have divided themselves between the preparatory tasks of external criticism and the more exalted labours of historical construction: it is enough to mention the names of Waitz, Mommsen, and Hauréau.
The same holds with the Malays of Sumatra, the Hottentots, certain Negroes, and the natives of Brazil. On the Huns, Godron, 'De l'Espece, tom. ii. 1859, p. 300. On the Tahitians, Waitz, 'Anthropology, Eng. translat. vol. i. p. 305. Marsden, quoted by Prichard, 'Phys. Hist. of Mankind, 3rd edit. vol. v. p. 67. This fact was ascertained in the 'Reise der Novara: Anthropolog. Theil. Dr.
The answer has been furnished by one of the greatest ethnologists, Theodor Waitz, who, after he had exposed the insufficiency of the accepted formulas, came to the conclusion that the differentiation of the blacks from the lighter peoples might be an error. He denied that there had been a primitive black race in Micronesia and Polynesia; in his opinion we have here to do with a single race.
These aid the wizard, and occasionally inspire him. That these ghosts are worshipped does not appear, and is denied by Waitz. Again, in the matter of cult, 'there is none' in the way of sacrifice to higher gods, as there should be if these gods were hungry ghosts.
Waitz, the Dutch writer, in his Levensregeln voor Oost Indie, divides the European settlements in Java into three classes; the healthy, or mountain districts, where the air is dry, and the temperature moderate; the less healthy, which are warm and damp; and finally, the positively pestiferous, where, besides tremendous heat and great moisture, the atmosphere is laden with marsh miasmata.
There were so many close bonds of connexion between the two states that England suffered keenly in the disorders of Normandy, and the turbulence and disobedience of the barons under Robert threatened the stability of Henry's rule at home.

Spencer's system may possibly be explained by the circumstance that, as he tells us, he collected his facts 'by proxy. While we find Waitz much interested in and amazed by the benevolent Supreme Being of many African tribes, that personage is only alluded to as 'Alleged Benevolent Supreme Being' in Mr.
See, also, Waitz, 'Introduction to Anthropology, Eng. translat. vol. i. 1863, p. 275, et passim. Lawrence also gives very full details in his 'Lectures on Physiology, 1822. As Professor Waitz remarks, "however poor and miserable man is, he finds a pleasure in adorning himself."
