Pompeii: its History, Buildings, and Antiquities. Edited by Thomas 1

II. Dyer, LL.D. (Bell and Daldy.)—This is a reprint of an old book brought down to the present date, and generally improved and embel- lished. As it stands it is an admirable guide to Pompeii, as it leaves scarcely one stone unturned, unsketched, and undated. All who have visited Pompeii will acknowledge the merits of the book, and will regret that they have missed so much by not reading it before they wandered through the streets of the dead city. Future visitors will find it indispensable.
