Abstract
IN his excursions into the byways of archæology and primitive culture Mr. Baring-Gould is always interesting and instructive, and in his present book, dealing with the cave-dwelling troglodytes and the cliff castles of Europe, he has found a subject hitherto little explored and well suited to his powers. The moral of the book, though it is nowhere clearly defined, is the essential unity of human culture, man always adapting to his use the material which his environment supplies.
