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. As a work of popular reference will be found to be invaluable, not only from its accuracy of research, but from the wide field over which it ranges. In a word, the present vol ume supplies what has long been felt as a great desideratum In English literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, Vol. 1 of 2 Accordingly, it has been found necessary to rewrite a great part, and remodel the remainder, of the articles in the present Edition, which may therefore be regarded, to a great extent, as a new work. It contains eight hundred pages more than the old Edition. One-third Of the articles has been entirely rewritten. The remaining two-thirds have been in all cases greatly altered: scarcely twenty have been reprinted as they originally stood. There are, besides, about two hundred additional articles which did not appear in the Old Edition, many of consider able length and importance, by which it is hoped that all omissions have been supplied. The subjects are more extensively illustrated than formerly: there are upwards of four hundred and fifty new woodcuts in the present Edition. It would take up too much space to give a list of even the most important works which have been used in the preparation Of the articles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 854 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, Vol. 1 of 2: Abacaenum-Hytanis Tm; present work completes the Series of Classical Dictionaries, and forms, with the Dictionaries of Greek and Roman Antiquities and Greek and Roman Biography already published, an Encyclopedia of Classical Antiquity. The Dictionary of Geography, like the other two works, is designed mainly to illustrate the Greek and Roman writers, and to enable a diligent student to read them in the most profitable manner; but it has been thought advisable to include the geographical names which occur in the Sacred Scriptures, and thus to make the work a Dictionary of Ancient Geography in the widest acceptation of the term. The name Greek and Roman has however been retained, partly for the sake of uniformity, but chiefly to indicate the principal object of the work.
