Enock, a British traveller, engineer, and amateur ethnologist, examines the origins of pre-Columbian civilisations in the Americas and presents a theory that these cultures have been influenced by civilisations from Asia.

Enock considers similarities in architecture, mythology, language, and physical traits between Asian and American peoples as potential evidence of trans-Pacific contact before Columbus.

With contemporary former owner's inscriptions to front pastedown and free endpaper.
