A guide to the antiquities of the bronze age, 1904 r. - Praca Zbiorowa

The members of the staff of the British Museum who are responsible for the “Guide to the Antiquities of the Bronze Age,” which has just been published, are to be congratulated on having provided the public with a most excellent little manual which is not merely a guide to the collections in our National Museum, but is at the same time a convenient text-book on the Bronze age. There had long been a lack of authoritative handbooks on archaeology in English, and in this respect we were at a disadvantage compared with certain other countries in Europe. Thanks to the energy and knowledge of Mr. C. H. Read and his colleagues and to the liberality of the trustees, we are now provided with two well written, precise, and copiously illustrated shilling books which supply this deficiency for the Stone and Bronze ages, and we are glad to note that a volume on the Iron age is in course of preparation.
