In 1912 appeared a work on which Dickins had expended great labour, the first volume of the _Catalogue of the Acropolis Museum at Athens_,[133] comprising the sculpture down to the time of the Persian wars. The archaic Korae and male figures which stood in lines on the Acropolis and the pediments of the temples and shrines which adorned it when the Persians broke in in 480 constitute one of the most wonderful revelations of early Greek art. They have been frequently photographed; but their scientific study had not advanced with their popularity, and a number of difficult questions, as to date, artistic school, and manner of drapery awaited the cataloguer. With great care and excellent method Dickins approached these questions; and laid down a platform of knowledge on which all future discussions must be based. The work is in several ways a model. A posthumous paper on ‘The Followers of Praxiteles’, published in the _Annual of the British School_,[134] had been given as a lecture at Oxford. It covers some of the ground occupied by the present volume. This with some manuscript to be printed in the forthcoming account of excavations at Sparta and in the forthcoming second volume of the _Catalogue of the Municipal Collections of Sculpture at Rome_, completes the list of published works. My claim is that they should rather be weighed than measured. P. GARDNER. FOOTNOTES [1] _N. H._ xxxiv. 52. [2] Pliny, _N. H._ xxxvi. 24.
