Antedating iIiS..Ory.

At that point of time touched by the
earliest ray of historic knowledge, the
eye of the student Of human annals
sees occupying the Spanish peninsula
I race of men called lberiuns. These
old Iberians were not tribe or a
can, but a people, numerous and po-
t,ntial, with fully developed and
vlrile language, skilled in arms and
the working of precious metals, and
indusJriously commercial. This much
can be clearly inferred from the extent
o. their territory and the remnant of
them, with their characteristics and
habits, which still remain. This old
people, themselves colony from some
o her country, once existent and highly
civilized III the remote past, spread
from the Mediterranean Sea to the
slopes of the Pyrenees, and all over
Southern Gaul, as far as the RhOne,
and flowed westward with q movement
so forceiul that it included all the
British Islands. All this happened
40 to 5000 b. c. They are older
than the Egyptians probably by 1,O00
wears, and were strong enough to
attempt the conquest of the known
world.
These IberianS colonized Sicily.
They were the original settlers in Itay,
and pushed their way northward as far
as Norway and Sweden, where can
still he found among the present in
habitants their physical characteristics
dark skin and Jet black hair. This
ancient people We're not barharians, but
highly civilized. They had the art of
writing and literature. Poetry was
cultivated. Their laws were set in
verse, and for these laws thus written
they claimed an antiquity of c,OOO
years.l
This ancient race las passed away,
as all great races do. The rise and
decline of ~ people are as day. They
have a SUNRISE, Il noon, sunset, and
there remains of them and their SPLEEN
dor nothing but Il cleaning, twilight
of a thousand years, perhaps, and al
ter that oblivion's starless nights. This
old Iberian world-conquering race
came to its sunset hour Thousand
years ago, and the cleaning after their
sunset is deepening into that gloom
which hides all Only remnant, a
hint of the old-tme radiance remaius
up to this day.
In Southern Europe the remnant of
this antique race, the fragment of
root with the old-time vigorous sap in
it, may still lie found. There, OH the
Spanish peninsula where its cradle was
rocked, the grave of once pow erful
race is being slowly sodded; for there
still live that strange people called
the Basques. 1t matters not to-day
what they are--chietiy mountaineers, 1
think-tut they are of the old Iberian
stock, and the Iberians werc colonists
from some unknown land, prehistoric,
urdiscoverable by us. Colonists and
cOlonizers also. From some unknown
land, hidden from us in the gloom of
ages, these lberians came to Southern
Europe in ships. 70 Sicily they went
in ships; to Britain and Ireland; to
Norway also, and where else, or how
far or for what, is left to conjecture
Lut being strong in numbers, ambi-
tious to conquer, skilled in navigation,
we can well believe that they pushed
their flag and commerce nigh to the
ends of the world.
