This is not a photographic book in the ordinary sense, but the fact that it is by that most versatile of men, Alfred Watkins, of Watkins’ meter fame, and Fellow and Progress Medallist of the Royal Photographic Society, and that it is illustrated by most excellent “record” photographs, brings it to our desk for review. The full title is Early British Trackways, Moats, Mounds, Camps, and Sites, and the author not only reveals for the first time astonishingly systematic planning of prehistoric trackways, but throws a flood of light on the evolution of defensive camps, of the sites of castles and churches, and on the meaning of place names in England. Such a work would be most instructive to all interested in the making of such records, and doubtless many of the idealsRead ‘ideas’ ? behind Mr. Watkins’ fine work could be equally well applied to colonial subjects, in spite of the fact that we have not the same historical data to fall back upon. A work we can strongly recommend. May be ordered through any of the Kodak Branches at 6/-.
