Description
Excerpt from Pompeii; Its History, Buildings, and Antiquities: An Account of the Destruction of the City, With a Full Description of the Remains, and of the Recent Excavations, and Also an Itinerary for Visitors
With a view to avoid this inconvenience, some descriptions which did not appear to be much connected with the subject, such as those of the remains of Greek walls, of the baths at Rome, of the origin of the Greek theatre, &c., have been omitted. The Editor may mention that, with a view to bring down the information to the latest moment, he fre quently visited Pompeii during a residence at Naples in the winter of 1865-6, and studied the best and latest authorities on the subject. An Itinerary at the end of the volume may serve to render it a guide for travellers, as well as an index to the principal Objects. It may be added that several new illustrations have been given, besides a new map of the excavations, reduced from the Commendatore Fiorelli''s plan, with that gentleman''s kind permission.
