are predominantly classic on account of the fact that it has
become the official organ of the ARCHÆOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF
AMERICA and of the AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL
STUDIES AT ATHENS, and the JOURNAL will aim to further the
interests for which the Institute and the School were founded. In it are
published the reports on all the excavations undertaken in Greece and
elsewhere by the Institute and the School, and the studies carried on

independently by the Directors and members of the School. By
decision of the Council of the Archæological Institute the JOURNAL
has been distributed during 1893 to all members of the Institute, and
the same distribution will be made during 1894.
Beside articles the JOURNAL contains CORRESPONDENCE, BOOK
NOTICES AND REVIEWS AND ARCHÆOLOGICAL NEWS. It is
its aim to give notices of all important publications recently issued,
sometimes written expressly for the JOURNAL, sometimes
summarized from authorized reviews in other publications.
The department in which the JOURNAL stands quite alone is the
RECORD OF DISCOVERIES AND INVESTIGATIONS. While all
periods and all countries are represented, special attention is given to
Egypt, Greece and Italy. Not merely are the results of actual
excavations chronicled, but everything in the way of novel views and
investigations as expressed in books and periodicals is noted. In order
to secure thoroughness, more than one hundred periodicals are
consulted and utilized. By these various methods, all important work is
concentrated and made accessible in a convenient but scholarly form,
equally suited to the specialist and to the general reader.
It has been the aim of the editors that the JOURNAL, besides giving a
survey of the whole field of archæology, should be international in
character. Its success in this attempt is shown by the many noted
European writers whose contributions have appeared in its pages during
the past eight years. Such are: MM. Babelon, de Marsy, Maspero,
Menant, Müntz and Reinach for France: MM. Dörpfeld, Furtwängler,
Hirschfeld, Michaelis, Mommsen, Schreiber and Wolters for Germany;
MM. Gardner, Murray, Pinches and Ramsay for England, etc.
The JOURNAL is published quarterly and forms, each year, a volume
of between 500 and 600 pages royal 8vo, illustrated with Page v
colored, heliotype, phototype, half-tone and other plates and numerous
figures. The yearly subscription is $5.00 for America; and for countries
of the Postal Union, 27 francs, 21 shillings or marks, post-paid.
