ELSEWHERE
_With Twenty-nine Illustrations in half-tone._
_Second Edition._ _Crown 8vo._ _6s. 6d. net._
SOME PRESS OPINIONS
_Daily Telegraph._--“A most useful and popularly written introduction
to one of the great subjects before the world to-day. It is a
stupendous and inspiring story.”
_Sunday Times._--“A most fascinating book. Mr. Masters tells the story
of these pioneer excavators in a remarkably vivid way. The numerous
photographs add considerably to the value of his book. Mr. Masters has
done his work very well indeed.”
_Daily News._--“A book that will equally delight the grown-ups and the
small fry.”
_New Statesman._--“An imaginative boy, into whose hands this book
chanced to fall, would in all probability start digging up the garden
within a week. Mr. Masters adds to the learning of a scholar the
enthusiasm of a schoolboy. The book may confidently be recommended to
readers of all ages.”
_Evening Standard._--“There is adventure and romance sufficient
to satisfy the most eager spirit in the pursuit of the science of
excavation.”
_Times Literary Supplement._--“Pleasant and readable.”
