Excerpt from Colonization: A Study of the Founding of New Societies And it may be worth while, perhaps, to go a little farther and indicate the place in a series of studies of man and human society which colonization as here treated is designed to occupy. It pre supposes some such study as geography in its broader sense, including physical geography, the geography of man (anthropo geography), and the geography of trade; or, put more generally, Since man is the center of interest, a study of environmental in uences on man and human groups, and of the various topics of general anthropology.
