An interesting book has been published by the Watkins Meter Co., Ltd., Hereford (London: Simpkin, Marshall, and Co., Ltd.), at 4s. 6d. net, entitled “Early British Trackways,” being details of a discovery made since Midsummer last, by Mr. Alfred Watkins, a past Pesident of the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field Club. He finds these prehistoric tracks to have been in straight lines sighted from mountain heights, and that all mounds (tumuli) and moats in the West Midland district are marking or sighting points on these lines. Also that all camps, churches, castles, and crosses (if of ancient date) are upon these sighted lines, and that place-names in hundreds of cases confirm the fact. The book is illustrated by the author, who is a Progress Medallist of the Royal Photographic Society. It provides a new objective for field ramblers and scoutmasters.
