Defence of Early Britons.—Mr. Alfred Watkins, Hereford, the well-known authority on antiquities, declares that long before the Romans came to Britain it was “covered by a network of trackways made on accurately sighted alignments.” Mr. Watkins has proved this by his own careful researches, demonstrating (if it were needed) that the Britons were not the ignorant painted savages of some prejudiced historians. “The Romans used sighting methods,” says Mr. Watkins, “but in the main their roads in England are an expediency patchwork on old sighted tracks.”
