Illustrated. 14_s._ net. “Independent research, erudition without pedantry, and a respectable knowledge of modern seamanship and nautical terminology are conspicuous merits of this treatise.”--_Times._ “Parla egli delle navi a remi ed a vela, delle loro dimensioni, dei materiali impiegati, degli alberi, delle vele, della pittura, del timone, dei dipinti di prora e di poppa, delle ancore, gomene, bandiere, fanali, scandagli, battelli, ecc., ecc., in una parola, di tutti gli attrezzi e le particolarità inerenti alla forma ed armamento marinaresco d’una nave a remi ed a vela, corroborando le sue speditive affermazioni con un ricco e sovratutto ben scelto e corretto materiale di citazioni originali, desunte dagli storici e poeti greci e latini.”--_Rivista Marittima._ “Das Verdienst des Verfassers liegt in der selbständigen und umfassenden Sammlung und Verzeichnung der auf seinen Gegenstand bezüglichen literarischen Überlieferung aus dem Alterthum. Sie reicht von Homer bis auf die Byzantiner und Kirchenväter und bietet beträchtlich mehr auch als die ausführlichsten älteren Werke.”--_Literarisches Centralblatt._ “On y trouvera un exposé un peu sec et dogmatique, mais précis et appuyé sur un solide échafaudage de textes et de monuments, de tout ce qui touche à la structure proprement dite et à l’équipement des navires antiques: rames, dimensions et tonnage, matériaux, coque, ancres, câbles, gouvernail, mâture, signaux, tous ces sujets sont traités successivement avec une singulière maîtrise des documents et un esprit critique fort aiguisé.”--_Revue des Études Grecques._ “His book contains the results of long, laborious, and careful research. It is a scholarly work, and brings to the surface a vast amount of useful information hitherto scattered on the bottom of the ocean of ancient history.” _New York Times._ CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON: FETTER LANE, E.C. 4 C.
