Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Runic and Other Monumental Remains of the Isle of Man
With respect to the Runic Inscriptions, these have been copied separately. I found it impossible for them to be drawn without a certain value being given to some very faint and uncertain lines - these therefore I myself traced with the readings which I believe to be the most correct. The doubtful parts, however, I have noticed in the body of this work. The only really satis factory way of exhibiting them to those who are critical about the Runic readings would have been by means of actual photo graphs accompanying the work, and this I found, from the esti mates of different photographers to whom I submitted some specimens, would have too largely increased the cost of the work to general readers. The moulds from which the casts were made are many of them still in my possession, and a limited number of casts could be furnished to those who are willing to incur the expense of having Copies.
