$a The frontispiece is signed as drawn by T. Willement and engraved by E. Challis; the Preface states that it is drawn from 'Pittura d'Ercolano'. The plate is signed as drawn by 'S.B.M.' and engraved by 'E.C.' ; the Preface states that it is copied from an edition of Vitruvius published at Venice in 1511 [i.e. Giocondo's edition]. The two in-text illustrations are unsigned (the first is annotated as derived from Gell's 'Pompeiana', 2nd. series [1830-2]). The printer is named on the title-page verso and in the colophon: 'Printed By Richard Taylor, Red Lion Court, Fleet Street.' The work is dedicated by the author 'To Michael Jones, Esq., Fellow Of The Society Of Antiquaries'. |

$a The author does not limit himself strictly to the reign of Augustus (31 B.C. - 14 A.D.), but in his Preface acknowledges his indebtedness to Vitruvius, books on Pompeii and a book on the palace of Scaurus [i.e. Mazois's 'Le Palais du Scaurus' (1819)]. The frontispiece shows 'Roman Furniture &c.'; the plate, 'Plan of a Roman House according to Vitruvius'. The first in-text illustration shows a 'Natatio, or Swimming Bath, discovered at Pompeii'; the second, a lyre. The colophon includes printer Richard Taylor's device (a lamp with his initials, 'RT', and motto, 'Alere Flammam'). |
