England, the Eternal
MUST confess that although in England I sought for every trace of Roman building, or bath, or road, going back to the time of Christ, I had no definite thought or knowledge of these marvellous stone remains of antiquity. Mr. Mais has left the ordinary roads of travel’ to uncover for us many paths hidden by time. We are so accustomed to’ turn to Egypt and the East for our excavations of places and history that it comes rather as a surprise to know that so much history lies covered in our own islands; for what loyal Britisher does not call these islands * Home." It would take too long to
describe what Mais tells be in this book of the wonderful things to be seen in England from this far distant Stone Age and the Bronze Age which followed it. But,all lovers of England, whether born there or not, will enjoy and learn from these early chapters of the book. "So come with me," he says, "for a tour through England and in our search for the very old, I promise you that we will hit upon much that is very strange and much that is very beautiful."-(Book Review, by Miss G. M. Glanville, 3Y A, September 11.)
