Notes and Queries, Number 27, May 4, 1850 by Various
page 88 of 92 (95%)
Engravings of Coins, Gems, Bas-reliefs, Statues, &c., taken chiefly from
the Antique. Edited, with a LIFE, BY Rev. H.H. MILMAN, Dean of St.
Paul's. With 300 Vignettes. Crown 8vo.

"Not a page can be opened where the eye does not light upon some antique
gem. Mythology, history, art, manners, topography, have all their
fitting representatives. It is the highest praise to say, that the
designs throughout add to the pleasure with which Horace is read. Many
of them carry us back to the very portraitures from which the old poets
drew their inspirations."--_Classical Museum._
