Book excerpt: Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Antiquities, and Elements of Archaeology, Classical and Mediaeval, Vol. 1 of 2 The utility of such a work speaks for itself. It furnishes Readers of all kinds with a variety of useful, often curious information, scattered through rare and expensive works; and so authoritative on their respective subjects, that misinformation can only be a consequence of natural human imperfection. The Author has advanced no theories of his own; and of course cannot be deemed more responsible for mistakes than an agent who follows his instructions. There are, however, some vexatious inadvertencies in style, and misprints, growing out of the extreme difficulty of compressing the vast mass of the original collections, and the unavoidable omission of revised proofs, through the heavy expence of postage from London to the Banks of the Wye. The sense, however, is no where affected, except in an instance or two, corrected in the Errata. Chapter XVI. of Military Antiquities appears misplaced; but the publication of Dr. Meyrick's Armour subsequent to the Chapter having passed the press, and the preceding references, rendered the present position inevitable. Some remarks must not be omitted: The Work shows to what an uncommon extent the civilization effected by the Roman conquest, has diffused itself over modern Europe; the inhabitants being in the main Romans, under a different garb and language. Moreover, Archaeology is not only a study of Curiosity and Instruction, but is highly auxiliary to Taste. The Classical part of this Work has a peculiar bearing, in the intention of the Author, to this important object. It will be further seen, that the Author has brought subjects to a head, which were before lost in dispersion, for want of distinct works upon them. The Author has to return his especial thanks to Messrs. Nichols, the publishers, who have aided him with valuable information upon occasional topicks, which required assistance. It is also a considerable satisfaction, that the Work passed through the hands of Gentlemen intimately acquainted with the subject. To the representatives of Sylvanus Urban are owing great improvements in Topography; and it is also hoped that the present Work will be an additional service rendered by them to literature, and an accession of particular benefit to Archaeology, by its furnishing a groundwork for the more easy acquisition of that elegant study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Antiquities, and Elements of Archaeology, Classical and Mediæval, Vol. 1 of 2 Madame de Stael says, The erudition derived from Archaeology is far more animated than that we acquire from books; we seem to revive what we unveil; and the past appears to rise from the dust which concealed. It. This passion for antiquity is no idle prejudice. We live in an age, when self-interest seems the ruling principle of all men what sympathy, what enthusiasm can ever be its results) Again, Antiquity inspires insatiable curiosity. To penetrate the past, interrogate the human heart through many ages; to seize on a fact in a word, and on the manners or character of a nation in a fact; to re-enter the most distant time, in order to conceive how the earth looked in its youth, and in what way men supported the life, which civilisation has Since rendered so complicated. This were a continual effort of imagination, whose guesses discover secrets that study and reflection cannot reveal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Antiquities, and Elements of Archaeology, Classical and Mediaeval, Vol. 2 As to the antiquity of the Barrow form of burial, it occurs at Port Jackson, i. e. the long barrow, and the only explanation which can be given is the hypothetical one, that the tumulus was raised for preservation and remembrance of the remains. But there were religious motives also. We all know that at the present day the solemnity is retained of shedding earth upon the coffin. It is the very ancient custom, Injiciendi glebam, without which the interment was deemed incomplete, and upon which principle the moles egestae terrae, became a part of ancient interment, i. e. it was a mode of consecrating the spot to religious purposes. It has been affirmed that Virgil alludes to this, when he says concerning Palinurus, "Aut tu mihi terrain injice;" and Horace, "although you are in a hurry, it won't take you a long time to throw earth upon me." Of the kinds in order. Barrows of the Cyclopean and Heroic Ages. The chief distinction of these Barrows seems to have been immense stones at the base in the Cyclopean style; the rest consisting of earth or stones in the manner of cairns, every person in the army, city, or other place, bringing one, as the Roman soldiers afterwards brought each a helmet of earth. Such are the Altyn Obo, called the tomb of Mithridates, the presumed barrows of Ajax and Patroclus, and that of Alyattes, father of Cr sus, (which Mr. Fuller could not circumambulate in less than a quarter of an hour, ) described by Herodotus and Strabo. According to the fashion of the latter, the stones formed a basement, which was at first visible, the mound of earth being put at top. Scythian, or Tartar Barrows. There are immense numbers in Kuban Tartary, all sepulchral, and at once in view. Rennell describes them as perfect tumuli, raised enormously high; some with a square wall around them of large quarry-stones, &c. In particular instances the earth is excavated several fathoms deep; in others only dug to a sufficient depth for covering the body. They contained gold and silver utensils; skeletons of horses; bones of men; many bodies deposited in the same grave; weapons and implements of war; domestick utensils, images, and idols; wood, canes, and fish bones, all burnt; grains of the millet kind; and small silver vessels with handles in the form of a snake's head. No coin of any sort has been discovered in their tumuli. These barrows denote a Celtic coincidence; for, within twenty years ago, the Choctaws generally killed the favourite horses and dogs of the deceased, and buried them, with his gun and hatchet, in his grave. In Africa, too, the old Shangalla selects a favourite bow to be buried with him, in order that when he rises again he may not be at a loss to defend himself from his enemies; for these poor people are so accustomed to enemies in this world, that they cannot conceive that even a future existence can be without them.
