the story:

Ierature, as is the case with the Greek
for the reason that Etruscan liter
Iature IS still mystery, and hence, in
the absence of historic records for
guidance, the questions and doubts
Iof antiquaries concerning the vases
Iof Etruria must remain unsolved.
Still, IL cannot be denied tlTat many
Etruscan vases are purely Greek in
character, and such a fact is easily
Explained when one remembers that
the art of painted pottery originated
lin Greece and was developed later in
Etruria and other parts of Italy.
A brief survey of the few technical
facts respecting the mode of manu-
featuring vases Is indispensable for
la full comprehension of the subject.
THE art OF working in clay does not
exceed the intelligence of the rudest
savage. The invention of the orick,
which superseded the rude plan OF
'plastering the hut with clay to pro-
tect ii from the sun and storm, seems
to have been the first step toward
the fictile art which developed In later
times when the forms of the physical
world began to be modelled in clay.
Modelling in clay was soon SUPER
SEEDED by sculpture in stone and met
Ial. Clay was applied to the making
of vases when the potter"s wheel
was invented, and the art advanced
rapidly. The baking OF clay in order
to render it indestructlble, the glazing
of 1t to make 1t capable OF retaining
liquids. and its painting for decorative
purposes, were successful and gradu-
al developments OF this art, which Is
Undoubtedly one OF the most ancient.
The wheel was a very early inyen-
tion yet the Etruscans modelled their
vases with The hand and did not turn
them on the wheel. which suggests
the idea that their vases were imita-

The number of vases found in the
cemeteries of Etruria IS immense and
yet these spoils of the dead bear but
a very small proportion to the multi
tudes still entombed.
Most of the vases disinterred have
been discovered in tombs, but 1t has
been conjectured that they were not
originally intended exclusively for
sepulchral purposes. Some probably
were used as prizes at the national
games or palaestrlc fetes, or were
given as nuptial presents or as pledges
OF love and friendship. -
Many articles of household fur
niture, for use or adornment. and
those containing wine, n ilk and
honey were placed in tombs as Of
ferings to the names, that is, the
souls or spirits of the dead, or served
for the customary libatlons and
feasts held at the sepulchre. Some
times these vases were used TO hold
the ashes of the dead, but as a rule
they were placed in the tomb to-
gether with the other articles, like
armor and jewelry which the deceased
priced in life.
The number OF vases yielded by
the cemeteries OF Etruria Is aston
ishing, more so as almost all of the
tombs that contain them have been
opened and rifled in bygone times.
Robbers of tombs were common in
ancient times in Greece, Egypt and
Italy, and the Romans in the time
of julius Caesar ransacked the sep
nlchres of Corinth and Capua for the
sake of painted vases, which we're

more priced than gold and jewelry.
But it often happened that either
from ignorance or superstitious mo-
tives the violators of tombs neg
lected the vases in the search for pre-
cious metals, and the former were left
in place, though generally broken to
pieces.
The barbarians who overran Italy
at the close Of the empire plundered
the tombs that had escaped the RO-
mans, and their rifling was undertake
en- on so extensive and well organized
la system that the tombs of the poor,
which were known to contain no gold
or jewelry, were left untouched. In
fact, although 1t is extremely rare to
find unopened the sepulchre OF per-
son of prominence, the plain una
,doned tombs OF the poor are almost
all intact, and as many as 600 of
them were discovered at Tarquinii a
couple OF years ago in which not one
vase was broken.
The fictile vases found in Etruria
are so numerous that the art of their
manufacture might be traced from
them alone. Still, Notwithstanding
'peculiarities of style and distinguish
ing characteristics of Etruscan pot
terry, antiquaries are divided in opin-
ion as to its origin, and while some
lmantain that all the vases found in
Etruria were imported from Greece
and her colonies Others affirm that
they were of local manufacturers in
imitation of Greek.
The history OF the Etruscan pottery
cannot be elucidated by ancient lit
