SALAMIS IN THE ISLAND OF CYPRUS.
BY ALEXANDER PALMA DI CESNOLÀ, F.S.A.,
page 9

 

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.

RE the reader takes up the following pages, I beg leave to say a few words about the book, and the explorations it describes. I make no profession of archaeological knowledge, nor does my book even now pretend to be more than a simple narrative and description of explorations in the Island of Cyprus. These pages have been prepared in order to place before students and the public the principal relics which I discovered; but it is not expected that they can exhaust the interest and associations of those remains.
