The article focuses on the book "Archaeological Excavations," by J.P. Droop. There is no part of archaeology that has appealed so strongly to the popular imagination as the art of excavating. To have the past reveal itself before one's very eyes, and to be instrumental in supplying the world with more knowledge about itself, has seemed to many an adventure worth having and a cause worthy of service. This is a book that sets forth the principles on which excavations are now conducted, with instructions of what to do and what to avoid. Droop has the gift of presenting his knowledge in a lucid and attractive way, so that his book, besides being instructive, is delightful reading.
