Excerpt from Hittite Seals: With Particular Reference to the Ashmolean Collection
It will be seen from my commentary in Chapter III that the arrangement of specimens in my plates is tentative and intended to be not too definite in many instances. I often suggest that a seal or group of seals may belong more appropriately to a different place in the series than that in which it is actually figured. In the present stage such ?uidity of arrangement seems to me inevitable.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
