THE PRIMEVAL ANTIQUITIES of DENMARK.  By J. J. A. WORSAAE, Member of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Copenhagen, and a Royal Commissioner for the preservation of the National Monuments of Denmark.  Translated and applied to the Illustration of similar Remains in England.  By WILLIAM J. THOMS, F.S.A., Secretary of the Camden Society.  Illustrated with numerous Woodcuts.

While so many publications illustrative of the Archaeology of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, have appeared in this country, few attempts have been made to give a systematic view of the early Antiquities of the British Islands.

The work, of which the present volume is a translation, was originally written by Mr. Worsaae, for the Copenhagen Society for the Promotion of Useful Knowledge, and intended in the first place, to show how the early history of the country might be read through its monuments, and in the second, to awaken a greater interest for their preservation.  It has been translated and applied to the History of similar Remains in England, in the hope that it will be found a useful Handbook for the use of those who desire to know something of the nature of the numerous Primeval Monuments scattered over these Islands, and the light which their investigation is calculated to throw over the earliest and most obscured periods of our national history.
