A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Advantages out of all proportion to the importance of the immediate aim in view are apt to accrue whenever an honest endeavour is made to find an answer to one of those awkward questions which are constantly arising from the natural working of a childs mind. It was an endeavour of this kind which formed the nucleus of the inquiries resulting in the following little essay. It is true that the effort in this case has not led to complete success in so far as that word denotes the formulation of an exact answer to the original question, which, being one of a number evoked by parental experiments in seaside sand-maze construction, was: Father, who made mazes first of all? On the other hand, one hesitates to apply so harsh a term as failure when bearing in mind the many delightful excursions, rural as well as literary, which have been involved and the alluring vistas of possible future research that have been opened up from time to time in the course of such excursions. By no means the least of the adventitious benefits enjoyed by the explorer has been the acquisition of a keener sense of appreciation of the labours of the archaeologist, the anthropologist, and other, more special, types of investigator, any one of whom would naturally be far better qualified to discuss the theme under consideration at any rate from the standpoint of his particular branch of learning than the present author can hope to be. The special thanks of the writer are due to Professor W. M.
