THE PRIMEVAL ANTIQUITIES of DENMARK. By J. J. A. WORSAAE, Member of the
Royal Society of Antiquaries of Copenhagen, and a Royal Commissioner for
the preservation of the National Monuments of Denmark. Translated and
applied to the Illustration of similar Remains in England. By WILLIAM J.
THOMS, F.S.A., Secretary of the Camden Society. Illustrated with
numerous Woodcuts.
While so many publications illustrative of the Archaeology of Egypt,
Greece, and Rome, have appeared in this country, few attempts have been
made to give a systematic view of the early Antiquities of the British
Islands.
The work, of which the present volume is a translation, was originally
written by Mr. Worsaae, for the Copenhagen Society for the Promotion of
Useful Knowledge, and intended in the first place, to show how the early
history of the country might be read through its monuments, and in the
second, to awaken a greater interest for their preservation. It has been
translated and applied to the History of similar Remains in England, in
the hope that it will be found a useful Handbook for the use of those
who desire to know something of the nature of the numerous Primeval
Monuments scattered over these Islands, and the light which their
investigation is calculated to throw over the earliest and most obscured
periods of our national history.
