Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prehistoric Britain As the word "prehistoric" has no limitation in the past history of the country, it logically follows that a treatise on "Prehistoric Britain" would have an equally wide range; but by a judicious discretion we limit the scope of this book to the period during which man was an inhabitant of Western Europe, prior to the invention of written records. But the Britain of that early period differed widely from the Britain of to-day both in climate and geographical area, and to some extent in its flora and fauna. Consequently our first duty is to describe with as much precision as modern researches will admit of, but very briefly, the physical conditions which obtained in prehistoric Britain when it comes within the above-defined scope of the present work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remains of the Prehistoric Age in England Perhaps it may be permissible and even advisable to say a word at this point about these lists. They are strictly trial-lists, and though very great pains have been taken to make them accurate and complete, no one can be better aware than their author that, from the nature of things, they must necessarily suffer from sins of commission and omission. In the body of the book the author has tried as far as possible to describe objects which he has himself seen and studied, but it is obviously impossible for any one person to have seen and checked all the places mentioned in the lists. The lists have been compiled from the Ordnance Map, from Murray's and other County Handbooks, from Proceedings of various societies, and from other sources. After much considera tion, and acting on the advice of competent authorities, it has been decided that the lists shall appear, and it is hoped that they may be at least useful as a basis for a more perfect compilation in the future.

This will explain the somewhat limited range of the examples, and how limited is that range no one is more painfully aware than himself; but experience has taught him that there are few more fertile sources of error than a tacit acceptance of the descriptions of others. No matter how excellent and accurate those descriptions may be, to attempt to make use of them at second hand is to do injustice to them and to betray one's own lack of thoroughness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Stone Implements, Weapons, and Ornaments, of Great Britain IN presenting this work to the public I need say but little by way of preface. It is the result of the occupation of what leisure hours I could spare, during the last few years, from various and important business, and my object in undertaking it is explained in the Introduction. What now remains for me to do is to express my thanks to those numerous friends who have so kindly aided me during the progress of my work, both by placing specimens in their col lections at my disposal, and by examination of my proofs. F ore most among these must be ranked the Rev. William Greenwell, from whose unrivalled collection of British antiquities I have largely drawn, and from whose experience and knowledge I have received much assistance in other ways.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Antiquities of the Stone Age: In the Department of British and Mediaeval Antiquities A sense of international justice led him to desire that the finest pieces from these discoveries should be returned to France; hence, a number of carvings, as well as the engraving of a mammoth, perhaps the best example of palaeolic art, are only represented in his own collection by plaster casts. A portrait bust of Mr. Christy stands at the foot of the spiral staircase leading from the Stone Age Gallery. For a few of the illustrations the Trustees of the British Museum have to thank Mr. Worthington G. Smith, in whose work on primeval man figs. 2, 3, 4, 9, 11-14, and 141 have been published: and the Society of Antiquaries of London for figs. 87, 112, 136-140, and 142. Nearly all the other drawings, as well as the plates, have been specially prepared for this Guide, and comprise a large number of objects that have not been hitherto published. It may be added that where the illustrations are not full size, the amount of reduction is indicated by a fraction; thus, means that the original has twice the length and breadth, but four times the area, of the reproduction. The antiquities of the Stone Age from this and other countries are arranged as far as possible in chronological order, beginning with the palaeolithic series in Wall-Case 99, which is reached by the western spiral staircase, on the left of the opening into the Prehistoric Room. At the foot of this staircase is a map of England and Wales, marked to show the sites of bone-caves and palaeolithic discoveries; while at the top of the stairs a relief map of the Thames Valley near London shows the extent of the ancient river-bed, now occupied by gravels and brick-earth, and the southern limit, at Finchley, of the Boulder clay (coloured blue). Specimens of worked flint, showing the peculiarities by which human work in this material can be distinguished from flints chipped or fractured by natural agencies, are exhibited in a section of Table-Case B (see p. 115) on the floor of this room, and may be usefully studied before an inspection of the flint implements exhibited upstairs. For the block of breccia in Table-Case T between the spiral staircases, see pp. 35, 42. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Life in Early Britain written by Bertram Coghill a Windle and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in Early Britain: Being an Account of the Early, Inhabitants of This Island and the Memorials Which They Have, Left Behind Them The subject-matter of the following pages was arranged originally for a course of lectures which was delivered at Mason College, Birmingham. The object of that course, as of this book, was to present a brief but clear account of the different races which inhabited this country in prehistoric and early historic times, and to describe the chief relics which each has left behind it. It is hoped that this little book may be serviceable as an introduction to the study of Prehistoric Archaeology, and to the larger works on that subject by Sir John Evans, Professor Boyd Dawkins and others, the names of which will be found in the Appendix. In order to add to its practical value some attempt has been made to supply a list of objects, arranged in counties, by which the facts alluded to in the body of the work may be more fully illustrated. These also will be found in an Appendix. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin and Character of the British People It being generally admitted that the natives of the South and West of Ireland, as also those of the greater part of Wales, differ as regards their character both from Englishmen and Scotchmen, an attempt will be made in the following pages to explain the existence of this difference, and to trace to their source these hereditary characteristics. The qualities of individuals influence to a large extent their actions, which form collectively the history of the country in which they live. The better, therefore, we understand the character and inclination of individuals the more fully shall we comprehend the social and moral life which predominates in the country to which they belong.
