Wood, John T.: Modern discoveries on the site of ancient Ephesus (London, 1890)

EDITOR'S PREFACE.

The labours, long continued, and the great successes
in antiquarian research achieved by the late Mr. J. T.
Wood, F.S.A. on the site of ancient Ephesus, are well
known to all students interested in the excavation of
Biblical sites. Mr. Wood published the record and
results of his eleven years of arduous toil in a handsome
quarto volume which appeared with the imprint of
Messrs. Longmans, Green & Co. in 1877. This volume,
necessarily costly from the style in which it was got up.
was accessible to comparatively few readers, and has
long been out of print.

But it has been felt that a wide circle of readers
would derive benefit from a condensed and easily acces-
sible account of the surprising discoveries Mr. Wood
was enabled to make upon the site of one of the most
famous of Biblical cities. Hence his widow has placed
at the disposal of the Committee of the Religious Tract
Society, not only the volume already referred to, but
a mass of MSS. left by her late husband, for the purpose
of preparing this volume.
