"Dr. Munro has come forward in a very acceptable volume, which is now before us, and has undertaken to give a history of the excavations into ancient Scottish Lake-Dwellings, together with some very valuable suggestions as to the age and general characteristics of these prehistoric remains. We cannot, of course, follow Dr. Munro into all the details he treats of, but our readers will, we are sure, thank us for a summary of what Dr. Munro so ably tells us, and for the rest we most warmly recommend all antiquaries to make themselves possessors of this really remarkable book—remarkable in many ways, in closeness of detail, in extent of learning, in breadth of philosophical treatment, in the wealth of admirably executed and thoroughly appropriate illustrations.[120]" ----- Footnote 120: “We cannot pass over one other important accessory to the characteristics of this book. The publisher has certainly spared nothing to make his part of the work equal to the importance of the subject, and in paper, print, and tasteful appearance, there is nothing to be desired. We cannot always say this much of the publications which come before us; but it is a pleasure to do so in a case like this.” ----- =Westminster Review.= “The book is throughout a model of the careful record of facts, which require the most intelligent and patient observation to make the record of any value.” --- RHIND LECTURES. _Now ready, in One Vol. 8vo, 276 pp., with 84 Woodcuts and three 4to Plates, price 12s._ SCOTLAND IN EARLY CHRISTIAN TIMES _THE RHIND LECTURES IN ARCHÆOLOGY—1879_ BY JOSEPH ANDERSON, LL.D.
