A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is a report of the excavations at Mochlos, off the coast of Crete, which I conducted in the spring and summer of 1908. The expense of the work was borne jointly by friends of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, by the American School of Classical Studies at A thens, which obtained the concession from the Cretan authorities, and by myself. The objects which I was allowed to take out of Crete are in the Museum at Boston. The expense of this publication is borne by the School at A thens. A brief report on the work in the town of Mochlos appeared in the American Journal of A rchaeology, Vol. XIII, 1909, pp. 273-303. I wish to give hearty thanks to the many friends who have helped me in various ways. A mong these I would mention especially the two Cretan Ephors, Doctor Hatzidakis and Doctor Xanthoudides, Mr. B. H. Hill, the Director of the School at A thens, Mr. Gardiner M. Lane, the President of the Trustees of the Museum, Sir Arthur Evans, Miss Edith H. Hall, and the Committee on Publications of the School at A thens, Professor G. H. Chase, Professor J. R. Wheeler, and Professor H. N. Fowler. Miss Hall has read the manuscript and has offered many valuable suggestions. The members of the Committee have read both manuscript and proof and have aided me greatly by their advice and counsel. Richard B. Seager. October 7, 1911.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
