“The present volume may be said to be of a slightly more popular character than that on ‘Old Service Books,’ but the same wide research and careful compilation of facts have been employed, and the result will be, to the general reader, equally informatory and interesting.”—Academy.
“The shrines have for the most part passed away. What they were like may be learned from this volume.”—Manchester Guardian.
“This is a good subject and one that is well handled by Mr. Wall.”—Athenæum.
ARCHÆOLOGY AND FALSE ANTIQUITIES
By ROBERT MUNRO, M.A., M.D., LL.D., F.R.S.E., F.S.A. Scot.
With 18 Plates, a Plan, and 63 Illustrations in the text
“The author passes in review the more conspicuous instances of sham antiquities that have come to light since the beginning of the second half of the last century in Europe and in America.”—Westminster Gazette.
“He provides us with an account of all the most famous attempts made by sinful men to impede the progress of archæology by producing forged antiquities; and he points out a number of examples of the way in which Nature herself has done the felony, placing beneath the hand of the enthusiastic hunter of remains objects which look as if they belonged to the Stone Age, but which really belonged to the gentleman next door before he threw them away and made them res nullius.”—Outlook.
