PEEFACE. vii 



the other * General Remarks upon the Series of Prehistoric Crania.' 

 It would be impertinent in me to offer any remark upon their 

 importance : the reputation of the author and his well-known 

 intimate acquaintance with the subject make it self-evident how 

 greatly they add to the value of this book. 



And here I cannot deny myself the pleasure of testifying 1 how, 

 during all the course of my diggings, I have met with the most 

 cordial co-operation from the many landowners upon whose estates 

 the various barrows were situated. It would be impossible to specify 

 every name, but I am bound to mention the late Earl of Carlisle, 

 Lord Londesborough, Sir Charles Legard, Bart., Sir Henry 

 Boynton, Bart., Sir Tatton Sykes, Bart., Sir W. C. Trevelyan, Bart., 

 P. F. Clennell, Esq., and Alfred Sartoris, Esq. To the occupiers also 

 I cannot fail in making my acknowledgments for much civility and 

 help in many ways ; amongst these I would particularly name Mr. 

 William Lovel, of Weaverthorpe, who took a warm and constant 

 interest in the various barrow-openings in his neighbourhood. 



I am indebted to John Evans, Esq., F.R.S., for the use of the 

 following woodcuts, Figs. 4, 10, 11, 14, 25, 26, 28, 29, 31, 37, 

 38, 42, 43, 47, 87, 93, 99, 100, 104, 105, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 

 113, 115, 116, 123, 124, 126, 145, 156, 157; to the Society of 

 Antiquaries for Figs. 6, 19, 32, 41, 55, 65, 66, 67, 68, 112; to 

 the Royal Archaeological Institute for Figs. 24, 54, 56, 75, 76, 137, 

 138, 139, 143, 144, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 155; to 

 J. B. Davis, M.D., F.R.S., for Figs. 1, 160, 161 ; to Mr. Llewellynn 

 Jewitt, F.S.A., for Fig. 2. 



I must also express my thanks to Mr. Evans, who, to their profit, 

 has read the sheets as they were passing through the press ; also to 

 the Rev. J. C. Atkinson, himself a diligent and careful digger in the 

 Cleveland barrows, for revising this work in the manuscript, and 

 for much valuable counsel ; also to my neighbour the Rev. Henry 

 Barrett, to whose critical supervision the book in its literary aspect 

 is largely indebted for whatever of merit, in that respect, it may be 

 thought to possess. 



For the drawings of many of the urns I am. greatly obliged to 

 the Rev. W. C. Lukis, F.S. A., to whom I am sure the labour was 

 one of love.
