Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Local History and Antiquities It is difficult to decide how to write the names of men and places. Colchester to a student of Roman things has not the significance of Camulodunum. Yet it has seemed better to give modern names throughout, for the place is the same, and the general student profits though the expert may be annoyed. Similarly common sense dictates that one should write Beauchamp and Odell, though in Domesday Book these appear as Belcamp and Wadehelle.

Excerpt from Our Homeland Prehistoric Antiquities: And How to Study Them Almost all the books dealing with the science of prehistoric archaeology, are works for the advanced student, who is assumed to be familiar with the more elementary portions of the subject. This assumption is not always justified. As a consequence, in his early days of collecting specimens of the handiwork of prehistoric man, the author obtained little help from books and was compelled to rely on his own observa tions. The following pages have been written at the suggestion of Mr. Prescott Row, of the Homeland Association, in the hope that they may supply the needs of the beginner, and enable him to discriminate between stones shaped by natural forces and those chipped by man, and to classify them according to present knowledge. Reference is also made to early track ways, barrows, pottery, flint-mining, megalithic remains, dwellings and camps. In the glossary an attempt has been made to define some of the loosely-applied technical terms, and to give such information as will enable the reader to comprehend more advanced books.

Excerpt from History and Antiquities: With Some Account of the of Thes Neighbourhood The town of Ballyshannon, though now suffering from the chilling effects of a diminished trade and a decreased population, can at least boast of its superior antiquity, and its many historical associations. To collect these scattered memorials of bygone times, and present in a connected and readable form, an epitome of all that relates to our town, past and present, is the aim and object of the following pages. In their preparation no pains have been spared to obtain the best and most accurate information, and I have carefully consulted many manuscripts hitherto unpublished.

Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Antiquities, and Elements of Archaeology, Classical and Mediaeval, Vol. 1 of 2 The utility of such a work speaks for itself. It furnishes Readers of all kinds with a variety of useful, often curious information, scattered through rare and expensive works; and so authoritative on their respective subjects, that misinformation can only be a consequence of natural human imperfection. The Author has advanced no theories of his own; and of course cannot be deemed more responsible for mistakes than an agent who follows his instructions. There are, however, some vexatious inadvertencies in style, and misprints, growing out of the extreme difficulty of compressing the vast mass of the original collections, and the unavoidable omission of revised proofs, through the heavy expence of postage from London to the Banks of the Wye. The sense, however, is no where affected, except in an instance or two, corrected in the Errata. Chapter XVI. of Military Antiquities appears misplaced; but the publication of Dr. Meyrick's Armour subsequent to the Chapter having passed the press, and the preceding references, rendered the present position inevitable. Some remarks must not be omitted: The Work shows to what an uncommon extent the civilization effected by the Roman conquest, has diffused itself over modern Europe; the inhabitants being in the main Romans, under a different garb and language. Moreover, Archaeology is not only a study of Curiosity and Instruction, but is highly auxiliary to Taste. The Classical part of this Work has a peculiar bearing, in the intention of the Author, to this important object. It will be further seen, that the Author has brought subjects to a head, which were before lost in dispersion, for want of distinct works upon them. The Author has to return his especial thanks to Messrs. Nichols, the publishers, who have aided him with valuable information upon occasional topicks, which required assistance. It is also a considerable satisfaction, that the Work passed through the hands of Gentlemen intimately acquainted with the subject. To the representatives of Sylvanus Urban are owing great improvements in Topography; and it is also hoped that the present Work will be an additional service rendered by them to literature, and an accession of particular benefit to Archaeology, by its furnishing a groundwork for the more easy acquisition of that elegant study.
