This is the second volume in Massey's duo-volumes typological trilogy in which he attempts to demonstrate the African genesis of the human race, this time concentrating on the Hebrew, Akkadian, Assyrian and Maori connections, tracing them back to ancient Egypt whilst also demonstrating the profound influence of early African civilisations. As with the previous volume, the text has been extensively revised, the quotations corrected in accordance with the original sources he used, the pagination and footnotes have been retained. All bibliographical references will be found in the accompanying volume. (See Volume 4, Part 2.)

This is the first volume in Massey's duo-volumes typological trilogy in which he attempts to demonstrate the African genesis of the human race, and its apotheosis in the ancient civilisation of Egypt, with remnants of the diaspora to be found throughout the world, and recoverable through the study of types. Volume One concentrates on the British Isles. In this revised edition, the text has been tidied up, punctation improved for easier reading, spellings modernised, foreign words italicised, quotations checked against the original sources and corrected where necessary, titles and author names corrected, whilst still retaining the original pagination and Massey's footnotes. All referential and bibliographical notes have been moved to a separate volume. (See Volume 3, Part 2.) An important work like this has now, after long research and considerable labour, been given a new lease of life so that its light can shine once more yet with greater clarity.

Another in our series of study aids to Massey's voluminous works, our 'Notes' companion books to each of Massey's major works aim to be concise and informative, helping the reader with vague and obscure references, filling in missing information, providing full quotations, elaborations on ancient sites referred to, translations of foreign texts, annotations on Massey's citations and notifications of possible errors, replete with illustrations cited throughout the corpus. This series is compatible with any edition as it follows the pagination of the originals and can be used in conjunction with those, the reprints or our revised versions. This volume contains nearly 1300 notes, over 40 line drawings, plus a wide selection of photographs drawn from the Editor's own collection. It also includes 50 plates. An essential purchase for anyone seriously studying a much misrepresented thinker. Full names of authors, titles, publishing details, etc., mentioned in the Notes will be found listed in the Bibliography in Masseiana Volume 2.
