Description:

Relics of antiquity, exhibited in the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, with an account of the destruction and recovery of those celebrated cities. By the author of ?Fruits of Enterprise.? Compiled from authentic sources; and intended for young persons. London, J. Harris, (1819). 12mo. Engr. front.+ (2),+ ix,+ (blank),+ 143 pp.+ 5 plates, each with two engr. vignettes. First edition of this fine and ambitious account of Pompeii and Herculaneum, intended for children. Among other things it includes a long discussion about the papyri finds at Herculaneum, with a description of the manufacture of papyrus. Perhaps a bit too ambitious for a children's book - only one new edition was published, in New York in 1826.
