Early man in Europe

Preface

The sketches constituting this volume appeared last year in six consecutive numbers of Harper'^s New Monthly Magazine. The publishers having concluded to offer them to the public in the form of a book, it became incumbent on the author to revise the sheets, and to make such alterations and additions as the progressive character of prehistoric investigation in Europe demanded. There are many readers who have neither the occasion nor the time for perusing the more extensive works treating of the primitive condition of man, but who desire to obtain a general knowledge of the subject. For such readers the present condensed account is intended.
