Excerpt from Archæology and False AntiquitiesSuch a work could not have been undertaken. With reasonable prospects of success. Without utilising to a considerable extent the labours of other workers in the same field. On this point I have adhered to mv usual practice of quoting. As far as practicable. The actual words of authors whose opinions are contravened. Or approved, instead of compiling the substance of their views. All materials thus incorporated. Either in the form of extract of illustration. Are dulv acknowledged - the former in the text. And the latter in the detailed list of illustrations. In addition to obligations on this score. I have to express special thanks to the following gentlemen: Mr. A. Donnellv and.\ Ir. John Bruce. F.s.. Scot for having afforded me an opportunitv of carefullv inspecting the structural remains at Dumbuck and Langbank while the excavations were in progress, the Council of the Societv of Antiquaries of Scotland. For the use of the blocks of figures 35 and 55 - 9, and the Curator of the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh. For the photo graph from which Plate XI. Has been made.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
