Nevertheless the metal bronze for warlike purposes had gone out of use in Europe long before the period when authentic history begins ; Hesiod speaking of its employment for such purposes as marking the Age of Fable ; and Lucretius following him to the same effect — " Inde minutatim processit ferreus ensis, Versaque in opprobrium species est falcis ahenee.
Side 167 - ... Here we have the larger part of the metropolitan county unaccounted for. I believe this district, whose market value at the present time is greater than that of any other district of similar extent in the world, was, in the early times of which we are now speaking, merely a march of the Catuvellauni, a common through which ran a wide trackway, but in which was neither town, village, nor inhabited house.

Side 135 - Majesty at the waterside, where my Lord Cobham had provided a lectica, made like half a litter, wherein she was carried to my Lady Russell's by six knights.
Side 198 - ... perfect contrivances, which they now despise, and have discontinued, since the introduction of ours. For, by the time that the iron tools, of which they are now possessed, are worn out, they will have almost lost the knowledge of their own. A stone hatchet is, at present, as rare a thing amongst them as an iron one was eight years ago ; and a chisel of bone, or stone, is not to be seen.
Side 168 - a trench' went from this fortress to Walton, and gave that village its name. A dyke still runs from the ramparts towards Walton. I have traced it for more than one.third of the distance, and I have no doubt that it once reached the village, and, as Aubrey conjectured, gave it its name. The ditch...
Side 203 - ... of the Bronze Age. If, then, Professor Nilsson be correct, the bronze weapons must belong to an earlier period in Phoenician history than that with which we are partially familiar. It would now be natural that I should pass on to the Iron Age ; but the transition period between the two is illustrated by a discovery so remarkable that I cannot pass it over altogether in silence.
Side 199 - ... must have been of great value — were deposited in the tomb, it is reasonable to conclude, that if he had possessed any arms of metal, they also would have been buried with him.
