_For specimen illustration see page 19._

There are here summed up, in a very lively and graphic style, the
results of the discoveries made at Pompeii since the commencement of the
extensive excavations there. The illustrations represent the houses, the
domestic utensils, the statues, and the various works of art, as
investigation gives every reason to believe that they existed at the
time of the eruption.

CRITICAL NOTICES.

"It is undoubtedly one of the best works on Pompeii that have been
published, and has this advantage over all others--in that it records
the results of excavations to the latest date."--_N.Y. Herald_.

"A very pleasant and instructive book."--_Balt. Meth. Prot_.

"It gives a very clear and accurate account of the buried
city."--_Portland Transcript_.

charming manner possible, because the descriptions given have been

work has no superior."--_Philadelphia Inquirer_.

much better ideas of the phenomena they indicate than anything short of
an actual experience, or a panoramic view of them would do."--_N.Y.
Sunday Times_.
