Excerpt from The Prehistoric Use of Iron and Steel: With Observations on Certain Matters Ancillary TheretoTo reach such height as we have indicated seems the' one proper aim of archaeological research, yet, judging from the character of much work which has been done in the past, the attempts which have been made to probe thus far might be counted on the fingers of one hand.It is palpable from the style of so much of modern Intellectual work, which for most part terminates in the evolution of theories, that it can neither be of permanent value, nor be leading on to recovery of the actual Truth of the world's history, when but a very casual comparison of the theories so evolved, with solid, hard facts (many of which, happily for him who declines to be bound by a theory, still exist, bared to the vision of all who look around with unclosed eye, and mental vision unimpaired), declares such theories to be untenable, while, too, there is abundant indication that we have but to dig deep enough below the surface of things to meet with evidence more stable still.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
