AN
INQUIRY
THE SYMBOLICAL LANGUAGE
ANCIENT ART AND MYTHOLOGY.
BY R. P. KNIGHT.
*ts* Intended to be prefixed to the Second Volume of the Select Specimens
of Ancient Sculpture, published by the Society of Dilettanti; but the
necessarily slow progress of that work, in the exhausted state of the
funds to be applied to it, affording the Author little probability of
seeing its completion, he has been induced to print a few copies of
this proposed Part of it, that any information which he may have
been able to collect, upon a subject so interesting to all lovers
of elegant art, may not be lost to his successors in such pursuits,
but receive any additions and corrections which may render it more
worthy to appear in the splendid form, and with the beautiful illus-
trations of the preceding Volume.
