Description

It is a common error to confuse the archæologist with the mere collector of ignoble trifles equally pleased with an unusual postage stamp or a scarce example of an Italian primitive. Nor should the impertinent curiosity of local antiquaries which sees in every disused chalk-pit traces of Roman civilisation be compared with the rare predilection requisite for a nobler pursuit.' (Excerpt from Chapter 1)
