Overview

Excerpt from A Guide to the Antiquities of the Stone Age: In the Department of British and Medi val Antiquities The first edition of this Guide was published in 1902, and the intervening nine years have witnessed many important discoveries relating to the period with which it deals, while study and research have succeeded in clearing away some of the mist that obscures the subject. The text of the Guide has been considerably revised in consequence. It would have been desirable at the same time to make some new arrangement in the collections themselves, but the limitations Of space have made that impossible. A number of new illustrations have been added, and it is hoped that the volume may serve the purpose of the student both in the gallery itself and as a manual in which the main facts of prehistoric archaeology are to be found. It should be added that stone implements from America are exhibited in the American Room, and are not included in the present Guide. The revision has been entrusted to Mr. Reginald A. Smith, Assistant in the Department, under my direction, and I have carefully read through the proofs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
