ORIGIN, CONSTRUCTION, AND CIVILIZATION OF THE ANCIENT LACUSTRINE HABITATIONS OF IRELAND, AS ILLUSTRATED BY THEIR REMAINS, AND THE ANTIQUITIES FOUND IN AND AROUND THEM. LAKE DWELLINGS OF IRELAND. “To look back to antiquity is one thing; to go back to it is another. If we look back to antiquity it should be as those who are winning a race--to press forward the faster, and to leave the beaten still farther behind.” Let us travel back in thought some thousands of years, and picture to ourselves the aspect of Erin at that period. After all, this retrospect is comparatively short, if we take as correct the present computed period of man’s existence on this globe. Geology now assigns to the human race a duration it was long considered heterodox to imagine: generation upon generation, who shall say how many, lie beneath the sod over which our footsteps now pass.
