Republican Rome: Her Conquests, Manners and Institutions From the Earliest Times to the Death of Caesar - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
TivY after the manuscript of this book was completed Mr. Havell, when on a visit toE ngland from Halle, where he lectured in the University, met with a fatal accident while cycling. This lamentable termination of a busy and honoured life removed from the book in its progress through the press the assistance which would in ordinary circumstances be rendered by the author. Fortunately Mr. Havell was extremely careful in finishing his manuscripts. But his work upon the selection of the illustrations was not very far advanced, and only some notes concerning the maps were found to be serviceable. It was therefore necessary to begin this part of the work afresh, and Mr. H. B. Cotterill was good enough to undertake the selection of the illustrations and to write the explanatory Notes upon them. We are also greatly indebted to him for valuable advice and assistance in the compilation of the maps. Mr. Cotterill desires that acknowledgment should be made here of the kind assistance given him in the selection of the coins by Mr. J. A llan, of theD epartment of Coins and Medals, British Museum.
