Présentation de l'éditeur
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.
As the adequate presentation of a subject like that dealt with in this work largely depends on the extent to which it is illustrated, an effort has been made to illustrate it as fully and variously as the limitations under which it is published would permit. The sources from which the illustrations have been drawn are acknowledged in the List of Illustrations and the text. I desire, however, here more formally to express my thanks to the Hon. J.Abercromby, M.Boule and the Institut de Paleontologie Humaine, Mr. G.Coffey and the Royal Irish Academy and Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Dr. R.Munro, Mr. G.Penrose, and M.D. Peyrony: to the Societe dAnthropologie de Paris, the Society of Antiquaries, the Royal Archseological Institute, the Somerset Archaeological Society, the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, and the British Museum. Illustration of the Palaeolithic section has been facilitated by M.S. Reinach kindly consenting to my drawing considerably from his R(pertoire de tArt Quaternaire, and by M.J. Dechelette spublishers supplying cliches from his invaluable Manuel dArchologie. My indebtedness to LAnthropologie, in which so much on Palaeolithic Art has first appeared, goes without saying. Throughout I have griven references in notes to enable the reader, if he so desire, to find the original and further illustrations, and the student to follow up in the original sources any subject in which he may be interested.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
