ANCIENT SCOTTISH LAKE-DWELLINGS

EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS.
=Times, October 4, 1882.=
“It is a most valuable and methodical statement of all the facts
connected
with his own excavations in Ayrshire, supplemented by a summary
of what is known of Crannogs and Lake-Dwellings elsewhere. The work is
profusely illustrated with charts, plans, and engravings of many of the
objects discovered during the excavations: it will doubtless become a
standard authority on the subject of which it treats.”

EDINBURGH: DAVID DOUGLAS.
=Athenæum, November 11, 1882.=
“... Our readers may be assured that they will find very much to
interest and instruct them in the perusal of the work.”
=Saturday Review, October 7, 1882.=
“... The issue of these reports in a handy volume was taken in hand by
Dr. Munro, and the result is seen in the carefully-prepared and
admirably got-up volume to which we have now to invite attention.”
=The Nation, New York, October 26, 1882.=
