PREFACE.
The present Catalogue deals with the collections of Greek and Roman Lamps in
the British Museum. Those of a distinctively Christian character, catalogued in
Mr. O. M. Dalton's Catalogue of Christian An/iqitities, are omitted. On the other
hand the Greek and Roman lamps in the Department of Egyptian and Assyrian
Antiquities, and those which are preserved in the British Department, as having
been found in Britain, have been included. The greater part of the collection is
naturally in the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities.
The Catalogue is the work of Mr. H. B. Walters. The proofs have been
read by Messrs. E. J. Forsdyke and F. N. Pryce, and b}' myself.
