KEEPER OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE ANTIQUARIES OF SCOTLAND [Illustration: Ornament of Bronze Mirror.] _EDINBURGH: DAVID DOUGLAS_ 1883 _All rights reserved._ PREFATORY NOTE. On the conclusion of my second series of Lectures on _Scotland in Early Christian Times_, the Council of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland having done me the honour of again appointing me to the Rhind Lectureship for a term of two years, that I might deal with the antiquities of the Pagan Period in Scotland, I have devoted the present series of Lectures to the investigation of the remains of the Iron Age, leaving those of the Bronze and Stone Ages to be dealt with in the succeeding series.
