Extract from the Preface 



The first volume of the AcropoHs Catalogue deals with the 

 Sculptures of the period preceding the invasion of Xerxes 

 in 480 B.C., at present contained in the first seven rooms of 

 the museum. A number of post-Persian objects in the 

 Entrance Hall are therefore excluded. On the other hand, 

 to avoid subsequent confusion, No. 610 and a few heads in 

 the wall-case in Room V are included in spite of their later 

 date. 



This volume is devoted to sculpture, and therefore the 

 architectural details at present in Room II are omitted as 

 well as objects in terra-cotta. It is hoped that the second 

 volume may contain the rest of the sculpture, the terra-cottas, 

 and the architectural fragments. 



The order of the catalogue was at first arranged according 

 to the position of the objects in the museum, but as extensive 

 changes are contemplated there, I have thought it wiser to 

 arrange the catalogue in numerical order, so that any object 

 may be easily found in spite of any future alteration.
