This vicinity is full of interest for the archaeologist, and he could spend weeks if not months, in pursuit of his favorite pastime.

We of today can but indifferently estimate the toil and patience exerted by this primitive people to record their presence, in monuments more enduring than brass, and can but view with wonder, the ad- vancement made through decades of centuries down to the present enlightened age.
