Excerpt from The Prehistoric Use of Iron and Steel: With Observations on Certain Matters Ancillary Thereto
Some of the matters opened up as more or less intimately connected with the principal subject treated of in the following pages have hitherto been but scantily investigated - certain of them, indeed, quite recently touched; and generally, they lie outside the beaten tracks of the modem student - by the schoolmen, for the most part, passed by - whilst they are spumed with an authoritative air, implying that all about them is known to those who, occupying learned offices, do more or less influence popular opinion. Their examination cannot be expected to enlist the sympathy of "the many."
