Charles Thomas Newton (1816-1894) was a British archaeologist
specialising in Greek and Roman artefacts. He studied at Christ
Church, Oxford before joining the British Museum as an assistant in
the Antiquities Department. Newton left the Museum in 1852 to
explore the coasts and islands of Asia Minor. In 1856 he discovered
the remains of the Mausoleum of Helicarnassus, one of the seven
ancient wonders of the world. He was appointed Keeper of Greek and
Roman Antiquities in 1860 and remained in the position until 1880.
First published in 1880, this volume is a compilation of lectures
on archaeology and classical art which he delivered over the course
of his career. They are arranged chronologically and cover topics
as diverse as the study of archaeology, Greek sculptures and the
arrangement of antiquities in the British Museum, providing
valuable information on early methods of archaeology and the study
of classical art.
