BOOK NOTICES. 511 



The works of Layard, Wilkinson and other archaeologists and discoverers 

 Tiave been drawn from liberally, as well as the museums of London, Berlin and 

 Naples; while days were spent at Pompeii in investigating those wonderful ruins. 

 All points of any interest to the reader are taken up and fully discussed, the result 

 being that almost all facts that the student of any of these subjects could need, 

 and which would cost him hours and perhaps days of labor to look up in the dif- 

 ferent authors, are brought together in one convenient volume and set forth in 

 an attractive and reliable form. 



Nearly two hundred engravings illustrate the text, most of which are new, 

 giving the reader a clear idea of all the noted ruined temples, statuary, domestic 

 utensils and weapons of the ancients. 



The work is for sale by Mr. and Mrs. R. Mathews, who have the general 

 agency for Kansas City.
