POMPEII (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from PompeiiThe present volume is neither a guide-book nor an archaeological treatise, though in places it may recall one or the other, a Character unavoidable from the nature of the subject. What has been aimed at is a reconstruction, often necessarily by suggestion or analysis only, of the life of the Old town, with sufficient explanation and account of the material to furnish a basis of actuality, or, at least, a general View from difierent sides of What Pompeii means and gives us. No amount of personal study on the spot can dis pense with the considerable and varied literature on the subject, and a special tribute of indebtedness is due to the more recent numbers of the Notizze Deglz scdtji, as well as to the works of F iorelli and F ischetti of Over beck, Helbig, Nissen, Wickhofl, Von Presuhn, Engel.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
