Hachette, for their liberality in allowing him the use of so large a number of MM.

Perrot and Chipiez' Illustrations.

He is also much beholden to the same gentlemen for the use of charts and drawings originally published in the "Geographie Universelle." Other works from which he has drawn either materials or illustrations, or both, are (besides Movers' and Kenrick's) M.Ernest Renan's "Mission de Phenicie," General Di Cesnola's "Cyprus," A.Di Cesnola's "Salaminia," M.Ceccaldi's "Monuments Antiques de Cypre," M.Daux's "Recherches sur les Emporia Pheniciens," the "Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum," M.Clermont-Ganneau's "Imagerie Phenicienne," Mr.Davis's "Carthage and her Remains," Gesenius's "Scripturae Linguaeque Phoeniciae Monumenta," Lortet's "La Syrie d'aujourd'hui," Serra di Falco's "Antichita della Sicilia," Walpole's "Ansayrii," and Canon Tristram's "Land of Israel." The difficulty has been to select from these copious stores the most salient and noteworthy facts, and to marshal them in such a form as would make them readily intelligible to the ordinary English reader.

How far he has succeeded in doing this he must leave the public to judge.

In making his bow to them as a "Reader" and Writer "of Histories,"[04] he has to thank them for a degree of favour which has given a ready sale to all his previous works, and has carried some of them through several editions.
