page 129 note a This ancient people was certainly singularly addicted, as we should infer from the above historical notice, to the arts of the sculptor and the potter, since the soil of the island literally teems with fragments of stone statues and of the products of the potter.

page 132 note a The celt is in the collection of John Evans, Esq. P.S.A., the remainder of the objects in the British Museum; they are probably all of copper, nearly pure. For an analysis of Cyprian objects, see Compte Bendu du Congres Prehistorique de Stockholm, p. 346.
