To marshal truths accurately and to collate a few new facts are the objects of this book. Here are set down the results of the spare time of years spent in tramping the country to investigate ancient churches, earthworks, roads and monuments; in searching for stone implements; in jotting down notes concerning customs and folklore; in visiting British and Continental museums, in studying diligently the best archaeological authorities. Sample contents: folk memory, its nature and scope; continuity of the ages of stone and bronze; later history of the megaliths; reputed virtues of iron; dene-holes; linchets; dew-ponds; old roads and trackways; and much more.
