numbers were found in sepulchres within those 
parts of the kingdom of Naples anciently called 
Magna Graecia. Most of these vases are orna¬

subjects, chiefly mythological, the compositions 
of which are truly elegant. The forms of the 
vases are much varied, and are equally simple 
and beautiful.
