Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities The merits of the present work are so fully set forth In the preface of the London editor as to render any additional remarks on this subject almost unnecessary The student has here a guide to an accurate knowledge of Greek and Roman Antiquities before which the meager compilations of Potter and Adams must sink into utter in significance and he is put in possession of a vast body of information In a most interesting department of study, which it might otherwise have cost him the labour of a whole life to accumulate. All the most recent and valuable discoveries of the German scholars are here placed within his reach, and there is nothing to prevent them speculations becoming as familiar to him as household words. The work Is, in truth, a German one in an English garb, and will be found to contain all that Iumess and accuracy of detail for which the scholars of Germany have so long and justly been celebrated. It Is equally intended, also, for the general reader, and.
