Note 2 — PREFACE BY THE EDITOR.
L. Dora Schmitz translation
“Trojanische Alterthümer. Bericht über die Ausgrabungen in Troja, von Dr. Heinrich Schliemann. Leipzig, in Commission bei F. A. Brockhaus, 1874.” It may be convenient to state here, lest the reader should be disappointed at finding no details of the excavations at Hissarlik in the first year (1870), that the work of that year was merely preliminary to the systematic researches of 1871-3. An account of that first year’s work, and of the arguments which convinced Dr. Schliemann that he must search for Troy at Hissarlik and no where else, will be found in his earlier work, “Ithaque, le Péloponnèse, et Troie.”
