Excerpt from Remains of the Prehistoric Age in England Perhaps it may be permissible and even advisable to say a word at this point about these lists. They are strictly trial-lists, and though very great pains have been taken to make them accurate and complete, no one can be better aware than their author that, from the nature of things, they must necessarily suffer from sins of commission and omission. In the body of the book the author has tried as far as possible to describe objects which he has himself seen and studied, but it is obviously impossible for any one person to have seen and checked all the places mentioned in the lists. The lists have been compiled from the Ordnance Map, from Murray's and other County Handbooks, from Proceedings of various societies, and from other sources. After much considera tion, and acting on the advice of competent authorities, it has been decided that the lists shall appear, and it is hoped that they may be at least useful as a basis for a more perfect compilation in the future.

First words
The object of this book is to give an account of the material relics of the Prehistoic period still to be seen in this country, and to that object the writer has endeavoured to adhere as closely as possible.

Preface.
A second edition of this work having been called for, I have endeavoured to incorporate in it not only various observations and discoveries which have been made public since the first appearance of this work, but also the numerous corrections and additions, chiefly in the Trial-Lists, which I owe to the kindness of many correspondents, mostly unknown to me, and to whom I desire hereby to return my thanks.
