Excerpt from Greek Marbles Brought From the Shores of the Euxine, Archipelago, and Mediterranean, and Deposited in the Vestibule of the Public Library of the University of Cambridge

It has been suggested to the Author, that an Engraving of the Sketch mentioned in the thirteenth page, as made by Mr. Gell at Eleusis, shewing the situation of the Statue of Ceres when discovered among the Ruins of the Temple, would be an interesting addition to the Work. This has been done accordingly; and the Binder is directed to place the Four Plates, not as they are mentioned in the Preface and in the thirteenth page, but in the following order.

I. Fragment of the Statue of Ceres, with the Face restores, (after a design by Flaxman, engraved by Tomkins,) as a Frontispiece to the Title.

II. View of Eleusis, &c. from a Sketch made on the spot by W. Gell, M. A. of Jesus College, Cambridge; engraved by Tomkins; to face page 14.

III. Fragment of the Statue of Ceres, shewing its present state; from a drawing by Flaxman, engraved by Tomkins; to page 24.

IV. the Statue of Ceres, according to its pristine state, as restored by Flaxman; from a design by him, engraved by Tomkins; to face page 30.
