Abstract
MR. R. N. Hall, the South African excavator, is not very tolerant of criticism. He is up again, and running full tilt against Dr. Randall Maciver, who, in “Mediæval Rhodesia,” dared to try to demolish his prehistoric Semitic Zimbabwe theory. Whether Dr. Maciver was right in all his contentions as to the stratification of Zimbabwe, the Nankin china found in it, and so forth, cannot be decided until after he has replied to Mr. Hall's objections as stated in this book. We have little doubt that his reply will finally dispose of these objections, which, of course, Mr. Hall was perfectly justified in advancing if he felt that Dr. Maciver had not handled the evidence rightly. It is, however, a pity that in doing this Mr. Hall allows a certain tone of bitterness to appear in his references to his antagonist.
