Synopsis

Excerpt from Art in Ancient Rome, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Times to the Principate of Nero

Endless delays have attended the production of the book - delays caused by war and post-war conditions; by the reported loss on two different occasions of important photographs and irreplaceable clichés, and by the constant inflow of new material. I could scarcely have coped with these repeated worries and disappointments had it not been for the intelligent assistance given me in a secretarial capacity by various students and young colleagues. Mademoiselle jacqueline de la Harpe, in particular, and, on a later occasion, Mr. Roger Hinks (now of the Department of Greek and Roman Anti quities in the British Museum) worked with me with untiring zeal on what I each time hoped might be the last revision. This was in 1924 - 25. In 1925 the book went to the printers, but its publication was once again delayed owing to the troublesome question of illustra tions. Meanwhile an unceasing stream of new discoveries and articles had to be taken into account, and Mr. Hinks, who under stands better than anyone the difficulties that beset me, has continued to give me much assistance, especially in archaeological matters, and has even volunteered to correct the final proofs, that publication, in Spite of my absence from England, might not be further retarded. In the matter of proof correction I am likewise very grateful to the Rev. Canon Lonsdale Ragg for generously giving me the benefit of his experience and skill, and for many useful suggestions.
