[28]. Cicero pro Archia poeta, c. vii.
To adopt and adapt the words of one who is both a learned archæologist and a learned astronomer of this University, I feel that I may, under any and all circumstances, impress upon your minds the utility and pleasure of “every species and every degree of archæological enquiry.” For “history must be looked upon as the great instructive school in the philosophical regulation of human conduct,” as well as the teacher “of moral precepts” for all ages to come; and no “better aid can be appealed to for” the discovery, for “the confirmation, and for the demonstration of the facts of history, than the energetic pursuit of archæology”[[29]].

NOTES.
Pp. 15-20. Nearly everything contained in the text relating to pre-historic Europe will be found in the Revue Archéologique for 1864, and in Sir C. Lyell’s Antiquity of Man, London, 1863; see also for Thetford, Antiq. Commun. Vol. I. pp. 339-341, (Cambr. Antiq. Soc. 1859); but the following recent works (as I learn from Mr Bonney, who is very familiar with this class of antiquities) will also be found useful to the student:
Prehistoric Times. By John Lubbock, F.R.S. London, 1865. 8vo.
The Primeval Antiquities of Denmark. By Prof. Worsäe. London, 1849. 8vo. (Engl. Transl.).
Les Habitations Lacustres. Par F. Troyon. Lausanne, 1860.
Les Constructions Lacustres du Lac de Neufchâtel. Par E. Desor. Neufchâtel, 1864.
