III.—The Origin and Progress of the Modern Theory of the Antiquity of Man
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
When Dr. Woodward asked me a few months ago to review some pamphlets on early Man and his remains, I very reluctantly promised to do so, because I felt that if I were to be frank and sincere I must speak of some recent developments of the study in unsympathetic terms, which would not be welcome in some quarters. I little expected, however, that I should have been overwhelmed by such a shower of peppercorns as I find on my return from Italy was the case in the September number of the Geological Magazine.

page 16 note 1 “Ancient arms were hands, nails, teeth, and stones and also broken branches of trees. Afterwards the virtue of iron and of bronze was discovered, but the use of bronze preceded that of iron.”
page 18 note 1 These bones, according to a statement by Mr. Carter Blake, are now or ought to be in the British Museum. However this may be, I am safe in stating that there is a fine series of Gailenreuth and Scharzfeldt cave-remains in the Geological Department of the Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, formed by the Earl of Enniskillen and Sir Philip de Malpas Grey Egerton in the early part of the last century.
page 20 note 1 In my previous paper I carelessly gave a wrong reference for these facts, about which my friend Professor Rupert Jones is rightly sarcastic, and which I have now corrected. The reference is, however, a difficult one, and the “partie Bibliographique” was published separately, and has a distinct pagination.
