Excerpt from Illustrations of Ancient Art: Selected From Objects Discovered at Pompeii and Herculaneum The Architecture of Herculaneum and Pompeii has been most com pletely illustrated by the great works of Mazois, Donaldson, and Gell. The statues, together with some of the other most striking works of art, have been also engraved in several publications of much merit. The chief, if not the only work, however, treating of the immense general mass of antiquities, is that published by the Neapolitan Government; but the cost of this is so great, that it must necessarily be excluded from most private libraries. It has consequently been thought possible that an illustrated work on this subject, comprising specimens of the Arms, Armour, Jewelry, Furniture, Vases, &c., which throw so much light upon the domestic life and manners of the Romans, might not be unacceptable to the public. The Author has therefore attempted to classify the materials he possessed, which have been chie y gathered from a large number of his own sketches, taken from the originals, but aided by selections from other works, such as the Mnseo Borbonico, &c. In the explanatory descriptions he has to acknowledge the great assistance he has derived from Smith's Classical Dictionary and Rich's Companion to the Latin Dictionary, &c.
