Excerpt from Essays In verifying references I have received effective aid from Miss A. M. Clay (now Mrs. E. H. N. Wilde), formerly an Oxford student of ancient history under Prof. Pelham and collaborator with the late Dr. Greenidge in a volume of Sources for Roman History'. I have also to thank Sir Alfred Lyall for information relating to the Indian Salt-hedge noticed on p. 201, and Dr. T. Ashby, once a pupil of Prof. Pelham and now Director of the British School at Rome, for help in revising the chapter on discoveries at Rome.
