The authors have to acknowledge the
kind assistance of Robert Cockerel, Esq.
by whom they were favoured with the
plan of the house of Pansa, and the loan
of drawings of the paintings in Plates
42 and 43. For a great part of the plan
of the Forum, Plate 44, they are indebted
to E. Sharp, Esq.
It may be proper to state, that the
original drawings for this work were
made with the camera lucida, by Sir
William Gell. To render the subject
clearer, a slight alteration has in two or
three instances been made, but always
mentioned in the text. The literary part,
with the exception of the first essay, is by
his coadjutor.
