This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1864 edition. Excerpt: ... THERM.E ROMANO-BEITANNICE "Quid sit futurum craa, fuge quaerere, et Quern fors dierum cumque dabit, lucro Appone; nec dulces BALNEAS, Sperne, puer, neque tu choreas." Horatius, lib. 1, od. ix. "Quicquid sub tends est, in apricum proferat setas."--Horatius. In the fascinating historical Novel "The Last Days of Pompeii," by Sir Bulwer Lytton, Glaucus is made to exclaim, Well! let us to the BATHS! blest be he who invented Baths! But tell me, Glaucus, are the Baths at Rorne really so magnificent? Glaucus turned and recognized Diomed; and suppressing a smile replied, --" Imagine all Pompeii converted into Baths, and then you will form some notion of the size of the imperial Thermae of Rorne, but a notion of the size only. Imagine every entertainment for mind and body, enumerate all the gymnastic games our fathers have invented, repeat all the books that Italy and Greece have produced, suppose places for all these games, admirers for all these works, add to these, Baths of the vastest size, the most complicated construction, intersperse the whole with gardens, theatres, porticos, and schools; suppose in one word a City of the Gods composed out of palaces and public edifices, and you may form some faint idea of the Glories of the great Thermae of Imperial Rorne." Such is the grandiloquent description of one of our most refined writers--but his protraiture of the magnificence of the ancient Roman Thermae is not more gorgeous than faithful, however apparently exaggerated. During the reign of the Caesars, --from Augustus to Constantino, the world had never seen grander buildings than the wonderful Thermae of Imperial Rorne. The burst of admiration from the lips of Glaucus was a just tribute to national greatness in the construction of these...

Robert Wollaston's concise yet comprehensive account of the Roman baths across Britain and continental Europe stands as a fine and thorough description of the ancient thermae. Many of the Roman thermae were unearthed as archaeology became a formal and professional trade from the 17th century onwards. Owing to the sheer passage of time, the baths revealed by excavation work varied widely in their condition. Some, such as the world famous thermae of Bath in southwest England were in superb condition and refurbished for purposes of tourism. Others however survived only in partial, or even fractional form. Although part of Wollaston's account has been outdated by new excavations and findings, his understanding of how baths worked is excellent. Clear explanations of the various rooms, the use of pressure and steam, and the tools and habits the Romans had when bathing populate this book. The author effectively applies his knowledge to each of the discovered baths; the reader thus gains a good impression of structural variations and technology that comprised the thermae. Robert Wollaston (1801-1865) was an enthusiast of antiquity who specialized in Roman architecture, engineering and mosaics. Born in British India, he would spend part of his adult life in Italy, studying ancient ruins. Professionally he worked as a surgeon, and was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons.
