Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roman Wall in Scotland This book is the direct outcome of an invitation addressed to me two years ago by the Trustees of the Lectureship in Archaeology instituted in the University of Glasgow by the late Mr. J.D. G. Dalrymple of Woodhead. Being of opinion that the time was ripe for a fresh survey of the whole body of evidence relating to the subject, they did me the honour of requesting me to undertake the task. The six lectures of which the course consisted were delivered in the spring of 1910. They form the main strand in the thread of the following chapters, and it is accordingly the requirements of the ordinary cultivated reader, rather than those of the specialist, that have determined the plan of the volume and also the method of treatment. I am hopeful, however, that even the specialist will not be sent empty away. At all events, I have endeavoured to be thorough where thoroughness seemed desirable. And the mass of relevant material here brought together is undoubtedly much greater than anything that has up till now been conveniently accessible to students of the Antonine Vallum, while the sifting process has led to deductions which will, I trust, be accepted by competent judges as representing a permanent advance.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Scotland From the Roman Occupation, Vol. 2 of 3 The author must apologise for any errors in fact which have escaped his attention, or are due to that subconscious bias from which no historical student can be free. In his opinion the hardships of' the Catholics, after the Reforma tion, have been rather cavalierly treated by many of our historians, and he has therefore dwelt upon a point too much neglected. As Sir Walter Scott observed in a private letter, our sympathies - at the period here treated, and later - are apt always to be with the party which is out of power.

Download or read book The Roman Wall written by J. Collingwood Bruce and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roman Wall: A Description of the Mural Barrier of the North of England The first edition of this book was intended as a popular intro duction to the works of Horsley and Hodgson; the additions which have been made to it during a second and third revision have necessarily changed, in some respects, its character. Still, it is believed that, with the aid of the explanations which are given, persons unacquainted with antiquarian phraseology will encounter no difficulty in its perusal. But for the abundant assistance afforded by some earnest patrons of antiquarian science, this book would have appeared in a very much less complete state than it does. The late Duke of Northumberland not only allowed the author to make a free use of the Survey of the Roman Wall, but gave him woodcut illustrations of all the Roman stones in his museum at Alnwick Castle. In addition to this, his Grace contributed largely towards the prepara tion of a series of illustrations for a work which is intended to embrace all the Roman Monuments of the North of England, and from these the writer has been allowed to select such as suited his present purpose. By the kindness of his Grace the present Duke of Northumberland, the plates of the Survey of the Roman Wall are bound up with the folio copies of this edition.

Download or read book The Antonine Wall written by David John Breeze and published by John Donald Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the most advanced frontier construction of its time, and as definitive evidence of the Romans' time in Scotland, the Antonine Wall is an invaluable and fascinating part of this country's varied and violent history. For a generation, from about 140 to 160 AD, the Antonine Wall was the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire. Constructed by the Roman army, it ran from modern Bo'ness on the Forth to Old Kilpatrick on the Clyde and consisted of a turf rampart fronted by a wide and deep ditch. At regular intervals were forts connected by a road, while outside the fort gates clustered civil settlements. Antoninus Pius, whom the wall was named after, reigned longer than any other emperor with the exception of its founder Augustus. Yet relatively little is known about him. In this meticulously researched book, David Breeze examines this enigmatic life and the reasons for the construction and abandonment of his Wall.

This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thousand Miles of Wandering Along the Roman Wall, the Old Border Region, Lakeland, and Ribblesdale The success of the first edition of this work, in two parts, bound in one volume, comprising 1,200 copies, now exhausted, and demands for more, encouraged the author to issue the book in a more cheap and popular form, namely, in two volumes, each complete, if needs be, without the other. Volume I. dealing principally with Durham, Northumberland, and the Border Country proper; Volume II. describing the district around Carlisle, The Roman Wall, South Tyne, and the Irthing and Eden Valleys, with chapters descriptive of the old-world border country around Upper Teesdale and Stain-Moor. Then the pilgrimage is extended to the Lake Country, and from thence down Ribblesdale to the sea. Our object is to excite that love for nature (inherent in the human heart), especially the varied and changeful scenery of our native land, which can hold its own with the fairest scenes beyond. Few countries can match ours in the delightful undulation of hill, vale, and plain, decked with green woods, meadows, and corn field. Old sleepy villages, sombre and grey, with church spire rising over the sunlit roofs, or, peradventure, an old castle or peel tower seen standing so shadowy and silent on the wild, desolate moorland, though shorn of former dignity, still seeming to defy the wreck of time, mute, yet eloquent, opening out pages of thrilling history, startling exploits, adventure, and romance, in days when "might was right." And how delightful to the soul of a pilgrim is the scenery along the banks of a river anon hurrying, now tranquil, curving and flowing 'neath overshadowing tress; and perhaps in no other part of the world, in so small a compass as our English Lakes cover, can such exquisite phases of nature be found. And, lastly, Ribblesdale, where the Ribble bursts from the wild mountainous country of Craven, with its wondrous caverns and curious pot holes, its latter course meandering and graceful. Thus we obtain, in this valley, in a distance of 30 or 40 miles, all the charm of contrast which make the Northern counties so delightful and invigorating. I owe my thanks to Mr. G. T. Lowe and Mr. L. Moore for their contributions - "The Roman Wall," "Climbs in Lakeland," and "High Ribblesdale."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roman Wall: A Historical, Topographical, and Descriptive Account of the Barrier of the Lower Isthmus, Extending From the Tyne to the Solway, Deduced From Numerous Personal Surveys The famous Roman Wall, which, in former times, protected southern Britain from the ravages of the northern tribes, exhibits, at this day, remains more entire, and forms a subject of study more interesting than is generally supposed. Two authors of great learning have treated of this renowned structure - Horsley, in the Britannia Romana, and Hodgson, in the last volume of his His tory of Northumberland. Both are treatises of considerable size, and both are, to a certain extent, rare. The Britannia Romana, moreover, describes the Wall, not as it is, but as it was more than a century ago. Hodgson's work is of recent date, and forms a valuable storehouse of nearly all that is known upon the subject. The mind, however, of that amiable man and zealous antiquary was, at the time of its preparation, bending-under the weight of his ill-re quited labours, and he has failed to present his ample materials to the reader in that condensed and well arranged form which distinguishes his previous vol umes, and without which a book on antiquities will not arrest the attention of the general reader.
