Some interesting remarks on the succession of the three periods and the possibility of abnormal variations from it will be found in a lecture to the ArchÆological Institute delivered by the late Mr. E. T. Stevens in 1872. (Arch. Journ., vol. xxix., p. 393.)

I would especially refer to an excellent article by the Rev. John Hodgson in Vol. I. of the ArchÆologia Æliana (A.D. 1816), entitled “An inquiry into the Æra when brass was used in purposes to which iron is now applied.”

Suetonius, Vit. Aug., cap. lxxii. M. Salomon Reinach has disputed my views as to the meaning of this passage, but I see no reason for changing my opinion as to the “arma heroum” referring to “res vetustate notabiles.” (See MÉm. de l’Acad. des Inscr., 14th Dec., 1888.)

See also Tylor’s “Early History of Mankind,” 2nd ed., p. 217. The entire chapter on the Stone Age, Past and Present, is well worthy of careful perusal, and enters more fully into the whole question of the Stone Age throughout the world than comes within my province.
