Prehistoric Times

Excerpt from Prehistoric Times: As Illustrated by Ancient Remains, and the Manners and Customs, of Modern Savages
In this book I present to' the public some essays on Pre-historic Archeology, part of which have appeared in the " Natural History Review, '' viz., that on
The Danish Shell-mounds, in October, 1861.
The Swiss Lake-dwellings, in January, 1862.
The Flint Implements of the Drift, in July, 1862.
North American Archeology, in January, 1863.
Cave-men, in July, 1864.
Messrs. Williams and Norgate suggested to me to republish these articles in a separate form, and I was further encouraged to do so, by the fact that most of them had re-appeared, either in France or America. The conductors of the " Annales des Sciences Na-turelles" did me the honor to translate those on the Danish Shell-mounds, and the Swiss Lake-dwellings. The latter also appeared in " Silliman's Journaland the article on American Archeology, with the exception of the last paragraph, was reprinted in the "Smithsonian Report, for 1862."
