Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Dawn of History: An Introduction to Pre-Historic Study
The various labors of a crowd of specialists are needed to give completeness to our knowledge of primitive man, and it is scarcely necessary to say that there are a hun dred questions which in such a short book as this have been left untouched. The intention has been to present these features which can best be combined to form a con timaeus panorama, and also to avoid, as far as possible, the subjects most under controversy. No apology surely is needed for the joint character of the work: as in every chapter the conclusions of many different and sometimes contradictory writers had to be examined and compared, and as these chapters, few as they are, spread over various special fields of inquiry.

Excerpt from The Dawn of History: An Introduction to Pre-Historic Study
The advance of pre-historic study has been during the last ten years exceptionally rapid; and, considering upon how many subsidiary interests it touches, questions of politics, of social life, of religion almost, the science of pre-historic archeology might claim to stand in rivalry with geology as the favourite child of this century; as much a favourite of its declining years as geology was of its'prime. But as yet, it will be confessed, we have little popular literature upon the subject, and that for want of it the general reader is left a good deal in arrear of the course of discovery. His ideas of nationalities and kindredship among peoples is, it may be guessed, still hazy. We still hear the Russians described as Tartars: and the notion that we English are descendants of the lost Israelitish tribes finds innumerable supporters. I am told that a society has been formed in London for collecting proofs of the more than Ovidian metamorphosis. The reason of this public indifference is very plain.
