About this book
Grave-mounds and Their Contents is a manual of archæology, as exemplified in the burials of the Celtic, the Romano-British, and the Anglo-Saxon periods, with nearly five hundred illustrations. A heading reads Cib Hill Tumulus, near Arbor-Low, Derbyshire. A numbered list of figures includes, among others, pottery sepulchral urns, Samian ware bowls and a glass sepulchral vessel from Bartlow Hills.
A quoted passage says we can have no doubt that these are all true pictures, pictures which we could hardly in any other way have obtained, of life in Britain under the Romans. The quoted passage adds that the more common of these subjects are hunting scenes and scenes taken from the amphitheatre or racecourse. The text says the dog hunting the hare, given in the cut, must be recognized at once as a greyhound, the same variety of dog which is still used for the same purpose.
