PROCEEDIN'GS OF THE 
at the stage of evolution to which the coinage "had attained within 
hut a few years after the invasion of Julius, there can be no doubt 
of the use of money having been known in Britain long before his 
time. 
In conclusion, a hope was expressed that the value of these coins 
as throwing light on one of the obscurest portions of the history of 
this country had been made' evident, as also that in their inter¬ 
pretation the recognition of some laws of development analogous to 
a great extent with those of natural selection afforded no mean 
assistance. 
Under any circumstances, Dr. Evans trusted that a more favour¬ 
able impression of our ancestors or predecessors in this country at 
the time of Caesar’s invasion had been created than that which com¬ 
monly prevailed. He hoped they would no longer be regarded as 
the merest savages, “ who stained themselves blue, sat under the 
mistletoe, and indulged in obscene rites,” and who burnt the living 
in wicker baskets, instead of, in accordance with modern views, 
burying their dead in those useful articles, for the manufacture of 
which Britain was famous even in Boman times.
