Britain, the key to world history

the long version

This volume is a companion work to The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain in which I endeavoured to prove by evidence, gathered over a wide field from ancient and modern sources, that the British Isles were highly civilized from the earliest times, and, indeed, that Britain may be proudly enthroned as the true and original mother of civilization. This purpose evidence was derived from geographical, geological, astronomical, historical and legendary sources to the effect that this major catastrophe afflicted northern and western Europe.
