Abstract
WHEN our hard-headed forbears were roving Pilt-down, the art of the quarryman could scarcely have been in its infancy; yet we have far to travel in the mazes of the past if we must find its beginnings, and the work of some of the early masters of the craft still remains to excite our wonder. From the nature of the material ancient methods were very like our own, and probably differed mainly in speed.
