In his 'Manual of the Turkish Bath, the late David Urquhart has given a most complete account of Eastern baths; and in Sir Erasmus Wilson's 'Eastern or Turkish Bath, will be found a popular account of the sumptuous baths of antiquity, which will serve as an introduction to further researches with the aid of more abstruse works, such as Wollaston's 'Thermæ Romano-Britannicæ, Cameron's 'Baths of the Romans, and particularly the careful description of the Pompeian Balneæ in Sir William Gell's 'Pompeiana. In the admirable works of Samuel Lysons, the Gloucestershire antiquary, will be found interesting accounts of the remains of old Roman baths in this country; and in Daremberg and Saglio's 'Dictionnaire des Antiquités Grecques et Romaines, is a most capable essay on ancient Balneæ.
