This title was first published in 2001. This volume contains Allan
Ramsay's "Enquiry into the Situation and Circumstances of Horace's
Sabine Villa". It also features essays about Ramsay, Jacob More,
Jacob Philipp Hackert, the garden and country house in 18th-century
British thought, and the archaeology of the Licenza Valley. The
aims of the editors are three-fold: to print the text as Ramsay
would have wished to, had he been able; to publish the related
illustrations by Hackert, More and Ramsay; and to provide some
basic background facts and commentary. They hope to help the
contemporary reader understand the antiquarian context in which
Ramsay was writing and to appreciate Ramsay's contribution to our
understanding of the site conventionally known as Horace's Villa.

This book presents rich source material; it makes no claim to being
academic, though referring whenever possible to works available to
the authors (the bibliography more or less stops with Ian
Gordon-Brown's death in 1996). However, those interested in
Transpersonal Psychology as an academic discipline will be able to
avail themselves of the wealth of original material here and take
it into the world of comparative study. Its origins could be traced
back way beyond Jung, Frankl, Maslow and Assagioli to Far Eastern
and Aboriginal sources, to Greek and later Western teaching, to
other great transpersonal pioneers of the twentieth century and
forward into the twenty-first.
