pone what I have to say on the tin -working to a chapter on that topic in the ensuing portion of my book, on Cornwall.
Books on Dartmoor:—
Rowk (S.), Perambulation of Dartmoor (new ed.). Exeter, 1896. A caution must be given that the original work was written in 1848, when archaeology was a matter of theorising, and when Druids and Phoenicians cut great figures. In reading Rowe's book the reader must pass over all this.
Crossing (W.), Amid Devonia's Alps. London and Plymouth, 1888. A pleasantly written little book, and free from the arrant nonsense of pseudo-antiquarians of fifty years ago, cooked up afresh.
Page (J. L. W.), An Exploration of Dartmoor. London, 1889. All the archoeologic lore in this book must be rejected. Otherwise it is good.
Cresswell (B. F.), Dartmoor and its Surroundings. London, 1898. A handy 6d. guide, very useful, and commendably free from false theorising on antiquarian topics.
Spencer (E.), Dartmoor. Plymouth, 1894. A fresh and pleasant book, trustworthy as to the geology, but wildly erroneous as to the antiquities.
For the Archaeology:—
Reports of the Dartmoor Exploration Committee of the Devonshire Association, 1894-9.
For the History of the moor:—
Reports and publications of the Dartmoor Preservation Society.
For the Crosses:—
Crossing (W.), The Ancient Crosses of Dartmoor. Exeter, 1887.
