Minerva Ornaments

Abstract

I HAVE twice had an opportunity of being in London during the time Dr. Schliemann's Trojan antiquities were exhibited at South Kensington, and the examination of them gave me very much pleasure. My last visit took place at the time Mr. Claypole's first letter and Prof. Sayce's reply appeared in NATURE, and I gave the “Minerva ornaments” particular attention. My interest in the subject has been revived by seeing another letter from Mr. Claypole in a recent number, and having refreshed my memory from notes taken during my visits, perhaps you would kindly afford me space for a few remarks.
