Book Description

Excerpt from The Cults of Ostia The present study was presented to the Faculty of Bryn Mawr College in May, 1912, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. It was begun at the suggestion of Professor J. B. Carter while I was a student at the American School of Classical Studies in Rome, in 1909-1910. I wish to express my gratitude to Professor Carter, and also to Professor A. W. Van Buren of the School, and to Professor A. L. Wheeler of Bryn Mawr College, both of whom read my manuscript and made a number of helpful criticisms. To Professor Tenney Frank of Bryn Mawr College, who supervised my work, I am under obligations for constant advice and criticism through.
