Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School Dictionary of Greek Roman Antiquities The present work is designed to supply a want that has been long felt by most persons engaged in classical tuition. Hitherto we have had no work in the English language which exhibited, in a form adapted to the use of young pupils, the results of the labours of modern scholars in the various subjects included under the general term of Greek and Roman Antiquities. The "Dictionary of Greek and, Roman Antiquities" is intended for the more advanced student, and contains, moreover, information on a vast variety of subjects, which is not required by those who are commencing their classical studies. It has therefore been supposed, that an Abridgment of that work illustrating the Greek and Roman writers usually read in the lower classes of our public schools, and omitting all such matters as are of no use to the young student, might prove an acceptable addition to our school-literature. In fact, the Abridgment was undertaken at the suggestion of the head-master of one of our great public schools, and no pains have been spared to adapt it to the class of persons for whom it is more especially intended. Conciseness and clearness have been chiefly studied; all discussions 011 doubtful and controverted subjects have been omitted; and such of the articles as are susceptible of it have been illustrated by woodcuts from ancient works of art. Though this work has been drawn up chiefly for the use of the lower forms in our public schools, the wants of another class of persons have also been consulted. It is believed that the work will be found to be of no small assistance to those who have not studied the Greek and Roman writers, but who frequently need information on many points connected with Greek and Roman Antiquities. Care has been taken not to presume too much on the knowledge of the reader; and it is therefore hoped, that most of the articles may be read with advantage and profit by persons who are unacquainted with the classical writers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities Some subjects have been included in the present work which have not usually been treated of in works on Greek and Roman Antiquities. These subjects have been inserted on account of the important influence which they exercised upon the public and private life of the ancients. Thus, considerable space has been given to the articles on Painting and Statuary, and also to those on the different departments of the Drama. There may seem to be some inconsistency and apparent capricious ness in the admission and rejection of subjects, but it is very difficult to determine at what point to stop in a work of this kind. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, if understood in its most extensive signification, would comprehend an account of everything relating to antiquity. In its narrower sense, however, the term is confined to an account of the public and private life of the Greeks and Eu mans, and it is convenient to adhere to this signification of the word, however arbi trary it may be. For this reason, several articles have been inserted in the work which some persons may regard as out of place, and others have been omitted which have sometimes been improperly included in writings on Greek and Roman Antiquic ties. Neither the names of persons and divinities, nor those of places, have been inserted in the present work, as the former will be treated of in the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, and the latter in the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geogra by.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concise Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities: Based on Sir William Smith's Larger Dictionary, and Incorporating the Results of Modern Research Some indulgence may be asked for on the plea that classical archaeology receives such large additions every year, that it is difficult to keep pace with the latest discoveries. In a work of this kind it often happens that an illustration will convey to the mind of a young student a more definite and accurate idea than a long verbal description. On this ground, upwards of 200 illustrations which do not occur in the larger work have been inserted in this volume. The Editor has endeavoured, as far as possible, to avoid controversial subjects as being out of place in a Dictionary of this kind; and when it has not been possible to do so, his aim has been to set down briefly the opinion which appeared to have the support of the best authorities. Where the best scholars are not agreed whether to follow inscriptions 01' manuscripts, a strictly consistent orthography can hardly be maintained.
