Excerpt from The Story of Religion in England: A Book for Young Folk
Our common ideas of the ancient Britons are more like the impressions which the Romans got from the vague stories of the Gauls than like what they actually found. The Britons were by no means such mere savages as they had been described. They had among them something of trade and agriculture. They knew how to fortify their Villages with ditches and stockades, and they fought so bravely that in some parts of the country they were able for a long time to defy the Roman legions. They had dresses of skins, and rudely woven shawls of wool much like the plaids of the Highlanders; and golden bracelets and brooches are still sometimes found in their graves, Showing how skilful they must have been in finding and working the precious metals. Most of all, however, their chariots.

Excerpt from The Story of Religion in England: A Book for Young Folk
For the beginning of the story of religion in England we must go back in thought to a dim and far-off time. Reader, is there an old church or the ruin of some ancient castle in your neighbourhood? We have to go back far beyond the time when that was built - hundreds and hundreds of years further back - to a time when forests and swamps covered the greatest part of our island, and the only inhabitants were tribes of half-naked savages, as rude and fierce as the New Zealanders or the Red Indians.
We must not think of all the ancient world as lying in this kind of barbarism.
