“What lends peculiar charm to Mr. Howells’s best work is the fact that it could only have been written by an American. It is in the delicacy and tact with which it is hand sovereign merit of the story resides.”

Hubbard, Arthur John, and Hubbard, George. Neolithic dew-ponds and cattle-ways. [*]$1.25. Longmans.
“The author endeavors to solve the question of the water-supply of the Neolithic dwellers in hill-encampments on the downs in the south of England. There were apparently no wells, and they had to depend on the ‘unfed’ artificial dew-pond.... Closely connected with the dew-ponds are the cattle-ways down which primitive man drove his herds from the entrenched settlement to water.... There are numerous and very clear photographs.”—Nation.
“Altogether the book is one to be read with interest and profit by everyone at all interested in the evidences relating to our ancestors of the stone age.”

“Contains much suggestive and interesting matter, and is very good reading, but not wholly convincing.”

“The whole study is well worth reading even by those who have no immediate interest in antiquarian topography.”
