Written in 1925, this handbook discusses the objects exhibited in the galleries of the Pierpont Morgan Wing. Historic photographs of the galleries provide insight into the history of this part of the museum, and a series of general chapters discuss the development of the arts and periods represented in the J. Pierpont Morgan Collection with a consideration of political, social, and economic contexts.

This forty-volume collection comprises all the issues of an early and influential classical periodical, first published between 1810 and 1829.
