Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Model Republic: A History of the Rise and Progress of the Swiss People
The ancient lake village, situated near where Auvernier now stands, on the shore of the Lake of Neuchatel, furnishes many specimens of the bronze age, as do several other sites in different localities. Many of the specimens show a high degree of artistic skill in their manufacture, and indicate a great advance in mental culture on the part of those that made them. Bronze spear-heads and swords, an anvil, Chisels, knives, plain and ornamental rings for personal adornment, gold studded brooches, and a large quantity of pottery, beauti fully shaped and finely made, are some among the many articles that have been recovered.
On this same Lake of Neuchatel, at a settlement near Marin, iron takes the place of bronze and stone in most of the articles brought to light; and, from the still greater beauty and perfection shown in their pro duction, this Village must have been of a much later date than those in which bronze or stone alone were in use.

Excerpt from The Model Republic: A History of the Rise and Progress of the Swiss People
Although no historical records exist earlier than about a century before the Christian era regarding the people of Switzerland, yet the vast stores of long-hidden material brought to light in recent years through the patient researches of native and foreign archæologists, afford ample evidence that at very remote periods the country contained numerous inhabitants. So complete, indeed, are the sources of information, that we are now able to determine the social and domestic habits of the ancient Swiss, and to form a fairly accurate idea of the progress of civilisation made by them long before classical writers brought them on the pages of authentic history.
To Ferdinand Keller, of Zürich, belongs the great honour of being the first to investigate thoroughly, and arrange systematically the materials bearing on this important and interesting subject.
