INDEX 877

"Of all the many thousands of earthworks of various kinds to be
found in England, those about which anything is known are very few,
those of which there remains nothing more to be known scarcely
exist. Each individual example is in itself a new problem in
history, chronology, ethnology, and anthropology; within every one
lie the hidden possibilities of a revolution in knowledge. We are
proud of a history of nearly twenty centuries: we have the
materials for a history which goes back beyond that time to
centuries as yet undated. The testimony of records carries the tale
back to a certain point: beyond that point is only the testimony of
archæology, and of all the manifold branches of archæology none is
so practicable, so promising, yet so little explored, as that which
is concerned with earthworks. Within them lie hidden all the
secrets of time before history begins, and by their means only can
that history be put into writing: they are the back numbers of the
island's story, as yet unread, much less indexed."--A. HADRIAN
ALLCROFT.

"It is a gain to science that it has at last been recognised that
we cannot penetrate far back into man's history without appealing
to more than one element in that history. Some day it will be
recognised that we must appeal to _all_ elements in that
history."--GOMME.

"History bears and requires Authors of all sorts."--CAMDEN.
