(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

( About the Book The Americas were settled by people migr...)
About the Book The Americas were settled by people migrating from Asia at the height of an Ice Age 15,000 years ago. There was no contact with Europeans until Vikings appeared briefly in the 10th century, and the voyages of Christopher Columbus from 1492. America's Indigenous peoples were the Paleo-Indians, who were initially hunter-gatherers. Post 1492, Spanish, Portuguese and later English, French and Dutch colonialists arrived, conquering and settling the discovered lands over three centuries, from the early 16th to the early 19th centuries. The United States achieved independence from England in 1776, while Brazil and the larger Hispanic American nations declared independence in the 19th century. Canada became a federal dominion in 1867. Also in this Book United States history began with the migrations of Indigenous people prior to 15,000 BC. Christopher Columbus's 1492 expedition enabled European colonization, with most colonies formed after 1600. By the 1770s, 13 British colonies held 2.5 million people along the Atlantic coast east of the Appalachians. The British government imposed new taxes after 1765 and would not agree to the colonists having a say in their determination. The American War of Independence, 1775–1783, ensued, resulting in independence, and another war was declared against Britain in 1812. The next 50 years saw the expansion of American states and territories through the west, however growth was curtailed by the costly American Civil War, which broke out in 1861 over the Confederate States' wish to continue the practice of slavery, and the Union's wish to preserve the union. By 1865 some 620,000 people died, making it the most costly in US history. Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867. The next decades up to World War 1 saw large migrations from Europe and massive growth in the US economy. The US had a short but decisive influence on World War 1, suffered during the Great Depression, and had an even greater decisive influence on the outcome of World War 2. The US then engaged in a Cold War with its military and ideological adversary, the USSR, which disintegrated in 1991. Over the 20th century the US was not just a dynamo of technological advancement, but also contributed greatly to world growth.

Allan Marquand was born on December 10, 1853 in New York City, and was the son of Henry Gurdon Marquand, a wealthy banker and patron of arts, and Elizabeth Love (Allen) Marquand, who was of old New England origin.
Preparing at St. Paul's School, Allan graduated from Princeton in 1874, being Latin salutatorian and class president. As an undergraduate, he was stroke of the crew and a member of the Glee Club. For three years he studied theology, first at Princeton Theological Seminary and later at Union. He was licensed to preach by the New York Presbytery, but was never ordained; his interest had shifted to logic and philosophy. The year 1877-78 found him a student at the University of Berlin. Thence he passed to the new Johns Hopkins University, where he held a fellowship in philosophy and in 1880 received the degree of Ph. D.
At Johns Hopkins, he invented an ingenious logic machine, which is preserved in the historical collections of Princeton University. President McCosh called him to the College of New Jersey in 1881 as lecturer in logic and tutor in Latin, a position which he held for only two years. He was then made professor of history of art, the professorship being designated archaeology and history of art in 1890. That year he became, also, director of the Museum of Historic Art. In 1883, at Rome, he was stricken by a malignant fever, which left him much of a valetudinarian. The disadvantages of such a condition he overcame by a sensible regimen and by extraordinarily persistent and systematic habits of study. After his marriage he went to Rome, where he served as annual professor at the American School of Classical Studies. Marquand came to what was to be his life work, the cataloguing of the sculpture of the Robbia family, almost accidentally. In 1882 his father bought a fine altar-piece by Andrea della Robbia. The son wrote an elaborate account of it for the American Journal of Archaeology (October-December 1891). His interest thus established in Robbia sculpture, he toured Italy for unstudied examples, and published his preliminary observations in the American Journal of Archaeology (January-March 1893) and in Scribner's Magazine (December 1893). The thoroughness of his methods may be inferred from the fact that it was nineteen years before the first of the Robbia catalogues appeared. Meantime, he wrote many journal articles, gave himself willingly to the drudgery of reviewing, fostered the interests of the Institute, and gradually built up a department of art and archaeology for Princeton. Its essential apparatus of research was his own library and photograph collection, which he first lent and then gave to the University. He was fifty-six years old when he published his first independent book, Greek Architecture (1909). Della Robbias in America (1912) was an hors d'oeuvre to the series, being an elaborate try-out of methods of classification. The World War brought some retardation of the work, for Marquand gave himself loyally to the drudgery of miscellaneous teaching in a militarized college with a depleted faculty. Since heraldry often meant chronology, he next dispatched that subject in Robbia Heraldry (1919). The breadth and wisdom of his long preparation was shown by the quickness with which the remaining volumes appeared: Giovanni della Robbia in 1920, Benedetto and Santi Buglioni, in 1921, and Andrea della Robbia and His Atelier, two volumes, in 1922. His never robust health was now beginning to break, but he left the last of the catalogues, The Brothers of Giovanni della Robbia (1928), so far advanced that it could readily be completed by his colleagues after his death. He died on September 24, 1924 in a hospital in New York City.

(GREEK ARCHITECTURE BY ALLAN MARQUAND, PH.D., L.H.D. PROFE...)
As a lecturer, because of his hesitant delivery he was at first mildly boring to the bulk of his undergraduate hearers, he made a personal impression through the charm and the kindliness of his manners, and always inspired a few elect students, among them, his later and brilliant colleague, Howard Crosby Butler. Quietly, he gained a national reputation through his patient and accurate scholarship. Living in a spacious way as a wealthy bachelor, he gathered personal disciples, entertaining them at his home and taking them on his travels. For a time Arthur L. Frothingham, a most active and versatile scholar, was his associate. Together they edited and largely wrote the third volume (1887) of the Iconographic Encyclopedia (a translation and revision of Moritz Carrière's Bilder Atlas) and A Textbook of the History of Sculpture (1896). Marquand's willing drudgery on the Encyclopedia turned out to be the best possible training for his later work as a cataloguer. From its beginning, Marquand deeply interested himself in the work of the Archaeological Institute of America, being an editorial contributor to its journal, the American Journal of Archaeology, from the time it was started, in 1885, until his death. For over thirty years with characteristic secrecy he financed traveling fellowships of the Institute. Marquand was of middle stature and slight build, immaculate in person and dress. His manner was shy and hesitating, but his vivid blue eyes were friendly. His sagacity and his generosity, which he disliked to have mentioned, brought him widest influence. He was extraordinarily helpful to beginners in research. Profoundly the scholar, he was exquisitely the aristocrat and the gentleman.
On June 18, 1896, being forty-three years old, he married Eleanor Cross, by whom he had four children. She was much younger than himself, but already interested in his subjects and fitted for the ideal partnership which ensued.
