Excerpt from The History of Ancient Art: Among the Greeks The American translator of the following work published it under the title of "The History of Ancient Art, " although it forms but one part of the work so entitled by the author. The general title was adopted with a view, as stated in the Preface, of presenting "to the public, at some future time, the remaining volumes of the series." But as it is uncertain when these volumes will appear, and as this one is complete in itself, it has been thought desirable to give the more specific and accurate title of "A History of Ancient Art among the Greeks" to the English edition of the work. A further deviation from the American edition consists in the substitution, in the present one, of a Plate, representing the eyes, forehead, and arrangement of the hair, of the Jupiter of Otricoli for the one representing the head and bust of the Jupiter of Phidias.
