Thomas Rice Holmes' aim in these pages has been to tell the story of man's life from the earliest times. What has been called 'prehistory' cannot be written without knowledge of archaeology; but from the historical standpoint archaeological details must be handled, not for their own sake, but only in so far as they illustrate the development of culture.
