Smith, Arthur H. [Hrsg.]; British Museum <London> / Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities [Hrsg.]: Catalogue of sculpture in the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities (Band 3) (London, 1904)

PREFACE.

V

The nucleus of the Graeco-Rornan series of sculptures in
the Museum was formed by the purchase of the Towneley
collection in 1803. Since then, the additions, though
numerous, have not been obtained from any similarly large
and important source. The facts in each case are set out
in the catalogue.

In preparing this Third volume of his catalogue Mr.
Arthur H. Smith has been frequently indebted to Sir
C. T. Newton's " Guide to the Graeco-Roman Sculptures,
parts I.-II.," now out of print. But the essential part of
the work is his own. The proofs have been read by myself
and the staff of my department.
