Excerpt from Pompeii The present work forms the first of a series of volumes published under the general title of "Famous Art Cities." The second, (by Dr. Gustav Pauli), treats of Venice; its immediate successors will deal with Florence and Nuremberg. Rome, Siena, Ravenna and Cairo will represent a continuation. Whoever visits Pompeii for the first time will not grudge a corner beside his guide-book for a Vademecum such as this, which offers the inspiration of the Genius loci to the traveller of artistic tastes. As the one meets his material needs, so the other ministers to the intellectual interests of the man of education, and may, at a later time, preserve or renew in the liveliest fashion his remembrance of what he has seen.

Excerpt from Pompeii, Its Life and Art The restorations are not fanciful. They were made with the help of careful measurements and of computations based upon the existing remains; Occasionally also evidence derived from reliefs and wall paintings was utilized. Uncertain details are generally omitted. It is due to Professor Mau to say that in preparing his manu script for English readers I have, with his permission, made some changes. The order Of presentation has occasionally been altered. In several chapters the German manuscript has been abridged, while in others, containing points in regard to which English readers might desire a somewhat fuller statement, I have made slight additions. The preparation of the English form of the volume, undertaken for reasons Of friendship, has been less a task than a pleasure.

Excerpt from Pompeii as an Art City Beside the lava-strewn shores of the Bay of Naples there lies a shattered city - a labyrinth of ruins, the legacy of a Past from which twice ten centuries divide us, yet fraught with interest and significance to the age in which we live, and with potential influence upon its joys and sorrows. Pompeii, the finest antique treasure-trove of modern times, possesses for ourselves a living value that is unique, unparalleled; and the secret of this importance lies in her Art. But if this be true of Pompeii, why is it not so in equal measure of many other Art Cities of the past whose treasures also have descended to us?
