Excerpt from Burlesque

I am as free as Nature first made man, Ere the base laws of servitude began, When wild in woods the noble savage ran.

Excerpt from Burlesque

If the principle which should guide the editor of the Treasure-Trove Series has been followed, as I think it has, the result will be a series of readable little volumes, which one may take up at odd intervals with the certainty of finding some things, I would fain hope many things, in which he cannot fail to be interested. He should look, in the first place, for amusement; in the second place, for variety: if he finds these qualities here, he has something to be thankful for. He has to be thankful, at any rate, for the labor which the compiler has expended for him, - labor which is not to be measured by what is accepted so much as by what is rejected, the reading of many books to no end. If the best books are those which are not written, as a cynical critic would have us believe, the worst books are certainly in the same category, "a happy thought," as a great living philosopher would have us believe, which is not without its compensations. Not to dwell, however, upon these literary possibilities, which we can well spare, so numberless are the books on all sorts of subjects which every day brings forth, let us turn for a moment to the papers which follow. We have first, from the pen of England's greatest humorist, a serio-comic protest against an individual with whom we in America arc tolerably familiar. I refer to that rampant and irrepressible myth "the noble savage."

Paperback. Condici�n: New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to challenge the inaccurate and offensive stereotype of the so-called 'noble savage'; a myth the author argues has no basis in reality, and is a product of a diseased and prejudiced mind. The author argues that encounters with so-called 'noble savages' such as the Zulu Caffres reveal that they are in fact, no more or less barbaric and degraded than any other people, and indeed have horrific customs such as the ritual murder of kings and the arbitrary execution of suspected witches. The author suggests that such 'noble savages' are in fact decidedly ignoble, and offer no model for any civilized society. The author concludes that there is nothing to be learned from so-called 'noble savages', and that they should be encouraged to abandon their wicked ways and accept the superiority of civilized society.
