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. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.
