Illustrations Of British Antiquities: Derived From Objects Found In South America (1869)

Illustrations of British Antiquities: Derived from Objects Found in South America is a book written by Abraham Hume and published in 1869. The book explores the theory that the ancient Britons had a connection with South America, based on the discovery of certain artifacts in the region that have similarities to those found in Britain. Hume provides a detailed description of the artifacts, including pottery, stone tools, and ornaments, and compares them to similar objects found in Britain. He argues that the similarities between the artifacts suggest that the ancient Britons may have had contact with South America, either through trade or migration.The book is illustrated with numerous engravings of the artifacts, as well as maps and diagrams to support Hume's arguments. The illustrations provide a valuable visual record of the artifacts, many of which have since been lost or destroyed.Overall, Illustrations of British Antiquities is an important work in the field of archaeology, providing a fascinating insight into the possible connections between ancient civilizations in different parts of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
