Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Robert Munro, 12 July 1914

 Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/20/19
Scope and Contents

Munro writes that the Abbé Breuil is the most brilliant of the modern French school of archaeologists and that if he were to deliver the Munro Lectures his subject ought to be the culture and civilisation of the prehistoric people of Europe. He adds that Breuil has a notable collection of slides illustrating his discoveries, which would help those listening who were not fluent in French.
