Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ecclesiologist, Vol. 11
To proceed; the relics of the Bronze period belong. It is laid down. To a people advanced to a certain point of civilization. Familiar with the use of copper and some other metals, but who for many centuries remained un acquainted with iron. Advancing from the east and south, they occupied the vacant spots. Or drove out the original savage inhabitants they were ware in their habits. And commenced the clearance of the forests and the cultivation of the soil.
To the Bronze period succeeded that of Iron. Which. At least in the native country of the learned author. Seems to have commenced about the sixth century. In England and Gaul it surely must have begun earlier, whither the Romans had long before carried their arms and their civilization.
