TYLOR EDWARD BURNETT: (1832-1917) English anthropologist. A.L.S., Edward B. Tylor, four pages, 8vo, Wellington, Somerset, 2nd October 1876, to [Louis Ferdinand Alfred] Maury. Tylor states that the first volume of La Civilisation Primitive has reached him, 'and a glance over its pages has been enough to show how much it owes to your supervision', further writing, 'No one could have ventured to ask so eminent a writer to undertake this troublesome task, rendered all the more difficult by the translatress never having reconciled herself to this appeal to the highest authority' and also adding 'It is, I presume, by your own wish that no mention of your name appears in the Preface. But if a few lines of announcement appear in the English literary journals, may I ask if it should be stated that the sheets have passed through your hands?', further enquiring '….may I add a request for myself. When in Paris I tried in vain to obtain your photograph to place among the ethnologists whom I have the honour of counting as friends. If there exists a “carte de visite” portrait of you, permit me to ask you for one'. VG
