Seals. [1907.] Methuen. (Connoisseur's library.)

qr929.8 B48

"This book on seals is less useful than we could wish...Except for ten pages at the beginning, the work is devoted to the seals of the middle ages and later times. It contains nothing about the seals of the Orient since the founding of Islam, and yet in modern times there is no part of the world where seals are used so commonly as in the Moslem East. There is no mention of the seals...of the remote East...nothing about the engraved gems of Greek and Greco-Roman antiquity...Dr. Birch is known as a trustworthy guide...and yet we must conclude that the vast deal of interesting information in this... work is limited in range and hardly made accessible."
