Excerpt from The History of the Mastiff, Gathered From Sculpture, Pottery, Carving, Paintings, and Engravings: Also From Various Authors, With Remarks on the Same Poets and Painters are often the unintentional historians of their age and the following pages will disclose that they have handed down to us much history of the mastiff. The great Poet of the age. Our Visionary Laureate has been very silent about the English mastiff. To me this is a little grief as with his powers of weaving semi-historical semi-mystical romances, he could compose a poem on the breed that would eclipse what Gay, Shakespeare and even Virgil have left us.

In the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum are more than six hundred ancient lamps that span the sixth century BCE to the seventh century CE, most from the Roman Imperial period and largely created in Asia Minor or North Africa. These lamps have much to reveal about life, religion, pottery, and trade in the ancient Graeco-Roman world. Most of the Museum’s lamps have never before been published, and this extensive typological catalogue will thus be an invaluable scholarly resource for art historians, archaeologists, and those interested in the ancient world. Reflecting the Getty's commitment to open content, Ancient Lamps in the J. Paul Getty Museum is available online at http://www.getty.edu/publications/ancientlamps and may be downloaded free of charge in multiple formats, including PDF, MOBI/Kindle, and EPUB, and features zoomable images and multiple views of every lamp, an interactive map drawn from the Ancient World Mapping Center, and bibliographic references. For readers who wish to have a bound reference copy, a paperback edition has been made available for sale.
