#1 In the year 699, the Proconsul of Gaul, Gaius Julius Cæsar, turned his attention to Britain. He knew that the island was inhabited by the same type of tribesmen who confronted the Roman arms in Gaul and Germany.

#2 Cæsar was planning on invading Britain, and had sent an officer in a warship to spy out the Island shore. He had concentrated the forces that had defeated the Veneti in two ports or inlets nearest to Britannia, and he was waiting for a suitable day.

#3 The first time the Island was linked with the rest of the world was when it was invaded by Neolithic culture. This culture had a primitive agriculture, and they scratched the soil and sowed the seeds of edible grasses. They made pits or burrows, which they gradually filled with the refuse of generations.

#4 The first Bronze Age in Britain was marked by the discovery of copper and tin, which were too soft and too brittle for their original purpose, but were blended by human genius to open the Age of Bronze.
