Prehistoric relics [reprint]: an illustrated catalogue describing some eight hundred and fifty different specimens

Excerpt from Prehistoric Relics: An Illustrated Catalogue Describing Some Eight Hundred and Fifty Different SpecimensNearly all of the 7500 collectors of archaeological speci mens have at some time or other. Wished for an inexpensive, and yet complete, illustrated catalogue. Books we have had in numbers, but they are all expensive, or they cover explorations only. Therefore, there are objections to most of them.Recognizing the call for a collector's book - one that should be' for laymen and not for experts - we have compiled the present book, Prehistoric Relics.
