Excerpt from Ancient Art and Its Remains: Or a Manual of the Archaeology of Art It would certainly have been desirable to have the references throughout the work verified, but I was withheld from making this addition to my labour, by their immense number, my other engage ments, and the difficulty Of getting access to the works referred to, many Of which are not to be found in any Of our public libraries. However, I have in numerous instances consulted the authorities quoted, when I wished to clear up any doubt or obscurity; and on such occasions I have very rarely discovered any inaccuracy in the citation. When I was aware Of any foreign work having been translated into English I transferred the reference to the translation.
