On the back cover:

This is a catalogue of the Ancient British and foreign-related collections which were on display at the British museum in 1925 and represent the period from about 500 BC to well beyond the invasion of Britain by the legions under Claudius. The book is split into two almost equal parts: the first considers all the evidence from continental Europe with particular attention paid to La Tene and Hallstatt cultures; the second is devoted to the evolution of native British art and antiquities with much cross-referencing to their European counterparts. It is a compact and well-illustrated volume and is reproduced complete with its original four colour plates.
