Notes: "The work now offered to the reader is based on one originally published between thirty and forty years ago under the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge [Great Britain], which became deservedly popular and has been several times reprinted; but it was never re-edited, although in the long period of time that has elapsed since its first publication, considerable progress has of course been made in the excavations of Pompeii. The present work has therefore been undertaken with the view of supplying some account of these more recent excavations, and thus rendering a more full and accurate description of Pompeii in its present state."--Preface, page xv, dated London, March, 1867.
