“What Dr. Smith’s ‘Dictionary of antiquities’ was for students half a century ago this is for those of to-day. In concise form it exhibits the larger and more accurate knowledge gained by recent research, and also treats of subjects not heretofore presented in works of this kind. As a book of reference it is all that could be desired. Its illustrations are both numerous and fine. In this work British scholars have again scored most creditably. In their index of scholars and modern writers Americans are scarcer than the facts require.”
