Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Stone Implements, Weapons, and Ornaments, of Great Britain IN presenting this work to the public I need say but little by way of preface. It is the result of the occupation of what leisure hours I could spare, during the last few years, from various and important business, and my object in undertaking it is explained in the Introduction. What now remains for me to do is to express my thanks to those numerous friends who have so kindly aided me during the progress of my work, both by placing specimens in their col lections at my disposal, and by examination of my proofs. F ore most among these must be ranked the Rev. William Greenwell, from whose unrivalled collection of British antiquities I have largely drawn, and from whose experience and knowledge I have received much assistance in other ways.
