A volume of the Entertaining Library contains, as far as

it goes (for we have only the first volume), the best and the most • copious account we can name of the antiquities of Pompeii, as they have been laid open by modern researches. The work is really a very pleasant and at the same time a very able account of this extraordinary resurrection of Roman antiquity. The plates are numerous, and contribute greatly to the perfect intelligence of the subject.
