Abstract
ARCHÆOLOGISTS have long been looking forward to the Hon. Dr. John Abercromby's monograph on Bronze Age pottery, and, as was to be expected, it has proved to be exhaustive and workmanlike. As an indication of the pains which the author has taken, it may be mentioned that there are photographs of 54 Continental beakers, 291 British beakers, 421 food vessels, 570 cinerary urns, numerous photographs of other objects, several plates of details of ornamentation, and a number of valuable maps of distributions. A classified list of the vessels illustrated in the plates would save the reader a great deal of trouble. The purely descriptive matter is as succinct as possible, though all essential information is given, and as there are full references the student knows where to go for further details. A Study of the Bronze Age Pottery of Great Britain and Ireland, and its associated Grave-goods. Hon. John Abercromby. Vol. i., pp. 163 + 1xi plates. Vol. ii., pp. 128 + plates”cx.
