Pliny sketches a theory of advancing moral decline and extravagance, in the course of which he gives a detailed account of six centuries of classical art and a fascinating sketch of the world of the rich Roman collector. Isager's is the first full treatment of this subject for over a hundred years.

Excerpt from The Elder Pliny's Chapters on the History of Art Pliny. With ready generosity, however, Dr. Urlichs offered me at once for my own book a number of his notes, which we agreed should be printed in square brackets and marked with his initials H. L. U. Subsequently, however, Dr. Urlichs informed me, to my regret and surprise, that the present edition would block the way for his own; accordingly, since he had given us notes, whose value is undeniable, we acceded to his request that his name should be placed as a third on our title-page. In fairness to Dr. Urlichs, I should add that his contributions and his responsibility begin and end with the notes that bear his initials. Besides those scholars who have given me constant and special help, I have to thank Mr. A. S. Murray, M. S. Reinao/z, and Professor wz'z/zelzn Klein for many friendly hints, Mr. Bern/zard Berenson for helping me to a better understanding of passages concerned with the technique of art, and Director G. Von Laubmann for the singular privi leges accorded to me as a reader in the Royal Library at Munich. Above all am I beholden to my friend Miss K. 7ex-bla/ae, not only for undertaking the translation, but for her liberality in allowing certain readings to be printed, of whose soundness she was not fully convinced. She has also found time, amid the arduous tasks imposed by College lecturing, to compile both Indices, and to assist in the revision of the book throughout.
