Excerpt from The Glastonbury Lake Village, Vol. 1: A Full Description of the Excavations and the Relics Discovered, 1892-1907It is difficult to estimate our great indebtedness to Dr. Robert Munro, LL.D., to Prof. W. Boyd Dawkins, and to the late Sir Augustus Wollaston Franks, for their valuable advice and assistance regarding the excavations, and their help in the task of identifying some of the relics.To the late Dr. J. H. Gladstone, our best thanks are due for his careful analyses and reports upon the various objects of metal, to the late Mr. J. G.Baker, and to Mr. Clement Reid, for their valuable reports upon the Botanical specimens, and to Dr. C. W. Andrews, for his examination and reports upon the Bird-bones.In regard to the letterpress of Vol. I, we owe a debt of deep gratitude to Dr. R. Munro for his valuable Introductory Chapter, giving in its eight sub-divisions a re'sume' of our present knowledge of lake-dwellings in various parts of the world. It is also with pleasure that we record the assistance we have fortunately received from the Rev. C. W. Whistler, not only in reading the whole of the proof sheets, but in offering suggestions for the general improvement of certain sections of the detailed descriptions. Our best thanks are also due to Mr. Arthur Waugh for his kindness in reading the manuscript of Chapter II.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
