495 - JOYCE, Thomas Athol; THOMAS, Northcote Whitridge *Women of All Nations: A Record of Their Characteristics, Habits, Manners, Customs, and Influence*. London: Cassel and Company [1908–1909], 2 vols., 4to (n.c.). Contemporary quarter shagreen, marbled paper boards, spines with raised bands (spines slightly faded, corners bumped). A comprehensive ethnographic survey of the lives of women around the world, edited by anthropologists Thomas Athol Joyce (1878–1942) and Northcote Whitridge Thomas (1868–1936). Volume I is devoted to the Southern Hemisphere, and Volume II to the Northern Hemisphere.
