Lake Habitations and Pre-Historic Remains in the Turbaries and Marl-Beds of Northern and Central Italy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Lake Habitations and Pre-Historic Remains in the Turbaries and Marl-Beds of Northern and Central Italy I was so fortunate as to see it under the guidance of the author, to whose energy it was chiefly due, and who was the more interested in expounding it from learning that I had, not long before, examined the Danish remains of a very similar character, from Jutland, in the Museum of Antiquities at Copenhagen; and, on parting, the author was so kind as to give me his memoir, begging that I would make any use of it I thought proper. I consequently translated it, and in process of time offered it to the Anthropological Society, who decided to publish it, with the concurrence of the author, in their series of anthropological works. The fact that this mode of inquiry, through the exhumation of buried remains, into the life of the tribes who were external to - perhaps long prior to - the various civilisations which, as it were, in a catena, have conveyed to us the histories and traditions of the earlier world, is a science which has had its origin in the last ten years, - should make us extremely careful in ascribing value to these remains at present. Facts, and an ever larger induction, are of far greater value to us than theories. If these facts, as they increase, seem to conflict, we must take courage from the reflection of Alexander von Humboldt, "that, in an age of such rapid and brilliant progress as the present, it is a sure criterion of the number and value of the discoveries to be hoped for in any particular science, if, though studied with great assiduity and sagacity, its facts still appear for the most part unconnected, with little mutual relation, or even in some instances, in seeming contradiction to each other."
