NOTES.

Pp. 15-20. Nearly everything contained in the text relating to pre-historic Europe will be found in the Revue Archéologique for 1864, and in Sir C. Lyell’s Antiquity of Man, London, 1863; see also for Thetford, Antiq. Commun. Vol. I. pp. 339-341, (Cambr. Antiq. Soc. 1859); but the following recent works (as I learn from Mr Bonney, who is very familiar with this class of antiquities) will also be found useful to the student:

Prehistoric Times. By John Lubbock, F.R.S. London, 1865. 8vo.

The Primeval Antiquities of Denmark. By Prof. Worsäe. London, 1849. 8vo. (Engl. Transl.).

Les Habitations Lacustres. Par F. Troyon. Lausanne, 1860.

Les Constructions Lacustres du Lac de Neufchâtel. Par E. Desor. Neufchâtel, 1864.

Antiquités Celtiques et Antédiluviennes. Par Boucher de Perthes. Paris, 1847.

Die Pfahlbauten. Von Dr Ferd. Keller. Ber. I-V. (Mittheilungen der Antiquarischen Gesellschaft in Zurich). 1854, sqq. 4to.

Die Pfahlbauten in den Schweizer-Seeen. Von I. Staub. Zurich, 1864. 8vo.

Besides these there are several valuable papers in the Transactions of the Royal, Geological, and Antiquarian Societies (by Messrs John Evans, Prestwich, and others), the Natural History Review, and other Periodicals.

p. 26. For the literature relating to ancient Egypt see Mr R. S. Poole’s article on Egypt, in Smith’s Dictionary of the Bible, Vol. I. p. 512.

pp. 29-31. Besides the works of Robinson, De Saulcy, Lewin, Thrupp, and others, the following books may be mentioned as more especially devoted to the archæology of Jerusalem:

The Holy City. By George Williams, B.D. (Second edition, including an architectural History of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre by the Rev. Robert Willis, M.A., F.R.S. 1849.)

Jerusalem Explored. By Ermete Pierotti. Translated by T. G. Bonney, M.A. 1864.

Le Temple de Jérusalem. Par le Comte Melchior de Vogüé, 1865. The Count considers none of the present remains of the Temple to be earlier than the time of Herod.

To these I should add Mr Williams’ and Mr Bonney’s tracts, directed against the views of Mr Fergusson, in justification of those of Dr Pierotti.

p. 31, l. 20. From some remarks made to me by my learned friend, Count de Vogüé, I fear that this is not so certain a characteristic of Phœnician architecture as has been commonly supposed. He assigns some of the bevelled stones which occur in Phœnicia to the age of the Crusades.

p. 31, last line. For the very remarkable Phœnician sarcophagus discovered in 1855, and for various references to authorities on Phœnician antiquities, see Smith’s Dict. of the Bible, Vol. II. p. 868, and Vol. III. p. 1850.

p. 36. As a general work on Greek and Roman Coins Eckhel’s Doctrina Numorum Veterum (Vindobonæ, 1792-1828, with Steinbuchel’s Addenda, 8 Vols. 4to.) still remains the standard, though now getting a little out of date.

The same remark must be made of Mionnet’s great work, Description de Médailles Antiques, Grecques et Romaines, Paris, 1806-1813 (7 Vols.), with a supplement of 9 Vols. Paris, 1818-1837, giving a very useful Bibliothèque Numismatique at the end; to which must be added his Poids des Médailles Grecques, Paris, 1839. These seventeen volumes comprise the Greek coins: the other part of his work, De la Rareté et du Prix des Médailles Romaines, Paris, 1827, in two volumes, is now superseded.

Since Mionnet’s time certain departments of Greek and other ancient numismatics have been much more fully worked out, especially by the following authors:

De Luynes (coins of Satraps; also of Cyprus); L. Müller (coins of Philip and Alexander; of Lysimachus; also of Ancient Africa); Pinder (Cistophori); Beulé (Athenian coins); Lindsay (Parthian coins); Longpérier, and more recently Mordtmann (coins of the Sassanidæ); Carelli’s plates described by Cavedoni (coins of Magna Græcia, &c.); other works of Cavedoni (Various coins); Friedländer (Oscan coins); Sambon (coins of South Italy); De Saulcy, Levy, Madden (Jewish coins); V. Langlois (Armenian, also early Arabian coins); J. L. Warren (Greek Federal coins; also more recently, copper coins of Achæan League); R. S. Poole (coins of the Ptolemies); Waddington (Unedited coins of Asia Minor).

For Roman and Byzantine coins (including Æs grave and Contorniates) see the works of Marchi and Tessieri, Cohen, Sabatier, and De Saulcy.

Others, as Prokesch-Osten, Leake, Smyth, Hobler, and Fox, have published their collections or the unedited coins of them; and all the numismatic periodicals contain various previously unedited Greek and Roman and other ancient coins.

p. 40. Fabretti’s work is entitled, Glossarium Italicum in quo omnia vocabula continentur ex Umbricis, Sabinis, Oscis, Volscis, Etruscis, cæterisque monumentis collecta, et cum interpretationibus variorum explicantur (Turin, 1858-1864). Many figures of the antiquities, on which the words occur, are given in their places.

p. 43. Cromlechs in some, if not in all cases, appear to be the skeletons of barrows.

p. 44. The following works will be found useful for the student of early British antiquities:

Pictorial History of England, Vol. I. Lond. 1838.

Archæological Index to remains of Antiquity of the Celtic, Romano-British, and Anglo-Saxon periods. By J. Y. Akerman, F.S.A. London, 1847 (with a classified index of the Papers in the Archæologia, Vols. I-XXXI.).

Ten years’ diggings in Celtic and Saxon Grave Hills in the Counties of Derby, Stafford, and York, from 1848-1858. By Thomas Bateman. London, 1861. A most useful work, which will indicate the existence of many others. In connection with this see Dr Thurnam’s paper on British and Gaulish skulls in Memoirs of Anthropological Soc. Vol. I. p. 120.

The Land’s End District, its Antiquities, Natural History, &c. By Richard Edmonds. London, 1862.

Catalogue of the Antiquities of Stone, Earthen, and Vegetable Materials, in the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy. By W. B. Wilde, M.R.I.A. Dublin, 1857.

The Coins of the Ancient Britons. By John Evans, F.S.A. The plates by F. W. Fairholt, F.S.A. London, 1864. By far the best and most complete work hitherto published on the subject.

Also, the Transactions of various learned Societies in Great Britain and Ireland, among which the Archæologia Cambrensis is deserving of special mention.

For the Romano-British Antiquities may be added Horsley’s Britannia Romana, 1732; Roy’s Military Antiquities of the Romans in Britain, 1793; Lysons’ Relliquiæ Britannico-Romanæ. London, 1813, 4 Vols. fol.

Monographs on York, by Mr Wellbeloved; on Richborough and other towns, by Mr C. R. Smith; on Aldborough, by Mr H. E. Smith; on Wroxeter, by Mr Wright; on Caerleon, by Mr Lee; on Cirencester, by Messrs Buckman and Newmarch; on Hadrian’s wall, by Dr Bruce; on various excavations in Cambridgeshire, by the Hon. R. C. Neville.

p. 45. For the Roman Roads, &c. in Cambridgeshire, see Prof. Charles C. Babington’s Ancient Cambridgeshire, Cambr. 1853 (Cambr. Ant. Soc).

— No doubt need have been expressed about Wroxeter, which should hardly have been called ‘our little Pompeii’; the area of Wroxeter being greater, however less considerable the remains. See Wright’s Guide to Uriconium, p. 88. Shrewsbury, 1860. For various examples of Roman wall-painting in Britain see Reliq. Isur. by H. E. Smith, p. 18, 1852.

p. 46. For Romano-British coins see

Coins of the Romans relating to Britain, described and illustrated. By J. Y. Akerman, F.S.A. London, 1844.

Petrie’s Monumenta Historica Britannica, Pl. I-XVII. London, 1848 (for beautiful figures).

Others, published by Mr C. R. Smith in his valuable Collectanea Antiqua; also by Mr Hobler, in his Records of Roman History, exhibited on Coins. London, 1860. Others in the Numismatic Chronicle, in the Transactions of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, and perhaps elsewhere.

For medieval and modern numismatics in general we may soon, I trust, have a valuable manual (the MS. of which I have seen) from the pen of my learned friend, the Rev. W. G. Searle. He has favoured me with the following notes:

On medieval and modern coins generally we have

Appel, Repertorium zur Münzkunde des Mittelalters und der neuern Zeit, 6 Vols. 8vo. Pesth, 1820-1829.

Barthélémy, Manuel de Numismatique du moyen âge et moderne. Paris, 1851. 12mo.

The bibliography up to 1840 we get in

Lipsius, Biblioth. Numaria, Leipz. 1801 (2 Vols.) 8vo., and in

Leitzmann, Verzeichniss aller seit 1800 erschienenen Numism. Werke, Weissensee, 1841, 8vo.

On medieval coins, their types and geography, we have

J. Lelewel, La Numismatique du Moyen-âge, considérée sous le rapport du type. Paris, 1835, 2 vols. 8vo. Atlas 4to.

Then there are the great Numismatic Periodicals:

Revue Numism. 8vo. Paris, 1836.

Revue de la Num. Belge, 8vo. Brussels, 1841.

Leitzmann, Numismatische Zeitung, 4to. Weissensee, 1834.

On Bracteates:

Mader, Versuch über die Bracteaten. Prague, 1797, 4to.

And the great Coin Catalogues of

Welzl v. Wellenheim. 3 vols. 8vo. Vienna, 1844 ff. (c. 40,000 coins).

v. Reichel at St Petersburgh, in at least 9 parts.

On current coins we have

Lud. Fort, Neueste Münzkunde, engravings and descr. 8vo. Leipzig, 1851 ff.

p. 45. For almost everything relating to ivories and for a great deal on the subjects which follow, see Handbook of the Arts of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Translated from the French of M. Jules Labarte, with notes, and copiously illustrated, London, 1855, which will lead the student to the great authorities for medieval art, as Du Sommerard, &c. I have also examined and freely used Histoire des Arts industriels au moyen âge et à l’époque de la Renaissance, Par Jules Labarte. Paris, 1864, 8vo. 2 volumes; accompanied by an album in quarto with descriptions of the plates, also in two volumes.

p. 47. For examples of medieval calligraphy and illuminations see Mr Westwood’s Palæographia Sacra Pictoria, (Lond. 1845), and his Illuminated Illustrations of the Bible, (London, 1846).

p. 48. A good deal of information about Celtic, Romano-British, and medieval pottery will be found in Mr Jewitt’s Life of Wedgwood, London, 1865. For ancient pottery in general (excluding however the medieval) see Dr Birch’s Ancient Pottery and Porcelain, London, 1858, which will conduct the student to the most authentic sources of information. In connection with this should be studied Mr Bunbury’s article in the Edinburgh Review for 1858, to which Mr Oldfield’s paper on Sir W. Temple’s vases in the Transactions of the Royal Soc. of Lit. Vol. VI. pp. 130-149 (1859), may be added.

—— For medieval sculpture see Flaxman’s Lectures. The ‘horrible and burlesque’ style of the earlier ages was discarded in the thirteenth century, when the art revived in Italy. Italian artists executed various sepulchral statues in this country, which possess considerable merit, as do others by native artists, but the great beauty of our sepulchral monuments consists in their architectural decorations.

p. 49. For the coinage of the British Islands see the works of Ruding, Hawkins, and Lindsay, also for the Saxon coins found in great numbers in Scandinavia, Hildebrand and Schröder. Humphreys’ popular work on the coinage of the British Empire, so far as the plates are concerned, is useful, but the author is deficient in scholarship.

p. 52. For the statements here made on oil-painting see Bryan’s Dict. of Painters and Engravers, by Stanley, (London, 1849), under Van Eyck, and Sir C. L. Eastlake’s Materials for a History of Oil-painting. (London 1847.)

p. 53. For medieval brasses, see

Bowtell, Monumental Brasses and Slabs. London, 1847, 8vo.

——— Monumental Brasses of England, a Series of engravings in wood. London, 1849.

Haines, Manual of Monumental Brasses. 2 parts. London, 1861, 8vo. This contains also a list of all the brasses known to him as existing in the British Isles. Mr Way has given an account of foreign sepulchral brasses in Archæol. Journ., Vol. VII.

p. 56. Several English frescoes are described and figured in the Journal of the Archæological Association, passim.

p. 62, l. 13. The omission of ancient costume has been pointed out to me. The actually existing specimens however are mostly very late; with the exception of a few articles of dress found in Danish sepulchres of the bronze period, or in Irish peat bogs of uncertain date, the episcopal vestments of Becket now preserved at Sens are the earliest which occur to my recollection; and there are few articles of dress, I believe, so early as these. However both ancient and medieval costume is well known from the representations on monuments of various kinds. See inter alia Hope’s Costume of the Ancients; Becker’s Gallus and Charicles; Strutt’s Dress of the English People, edited by Planché, (Lond. 1842); Shaw’s Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages.

p. 67. The statement about Patin is made on the authority of a note in Warton’s edition of Pope’s Works, Vol. III. p. 306. (London 1797.)

p. 68. The remark about the crab was made to me by the late Mr Burgon, and I do not know whether it has ever been printed; its truth seems pretty certain. For the Rhodian symbol see my paper in the Numismatic Chronicle for 1864, pp. 1-6.
