Book Description
"It is not less certain that monuments and remains of antiquity, other than literary, have a just claim to be considered as indirect sources for the same historical result." -Christian Thomsen, Guide to Northern Archeology Guide to Northern Archeology (1848) by Christian Thomsen is a comparative history of craftsmanship and technology. Instead of considering the authenticity of individual objects, however, Thomsen looked at the way objects can define the ages of prehistory (stone, bronze, and iron) and he argued for the value of objects as historical sources. The purpose of his book was to explain the comparative methodology he had developed as the Curator of the National Museum of Denmark, while giving credit to the support he received from the Royal Society of Northern Archeology by taking their case to a wider European scholarly audience.

Book Description
Excerpt from Guide to Northern Archaeology: By the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries of Copenhagen, Edited for the Use of English Readers Angles, Jutes, and other inhabitants of the North took pos session of, and settled in, not only parts of England, but also the Scotland of our days at all events that portion of an cient' Northumberland, which is now considered as part of the kingdom of Scotland. The connexion of Scandinavia with Ca ledonia, however, is undoubtedly much older than the conquest of England by the anglo-saxons. Before that event took place, the Scandinavians had possessed themselves of a considerable part of the lowlands of Scotland, where they probably were most generally known by the name of Picts. Agreeably to the most ancient heroic poems of the Scottish Highlands (in elu cidating which much light is to be obtained from Northern sources) the descents of the Northmen in Scotland, before they got a firm footing there, were chicfiy made from the Orkneys, which from time immemorial seem to have been inhabited by people of Scandinavian origin. A great portion of the Picts were for a length of time held in subjection by the monarchs of Northumberland, of anglo-saxon or Northern origin. Dr. John Jamieson's masterly philological investigations have proved, that the ancient Lowland Scotch and generally speaking the col loquial dialect of Scotland is more frequently to be traced to Northern, than to anglo-saxon sources. Mr. Robert Ia mieson has proved a similar result, in respect to the remark able affinity both of language'and poetry, which, prevails be tween the Scottish and Danish Ballads.
