Some of the glasses in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum are of great interest. For example, the glass fish, number 30, attributed to the late eighteenth dynasty is one whose method of manufacture is not fully understood even though it has been subjected to intense micro­ scopic examination. The author advances an eighteenth dynasty date, a hypothesis which may be correct but which is neither confirmed nor denied by the technical evidence. Possibly one of the most spectacular pieces in the Museum’s collec­ tion is the head of a woman in light green glass, number 35. This had been firmly ascribed, in earlier publications, to the late eighteenth dy­ nasty. Now there is less certainty, since “whatever its period, it seems to possess an individuality rare in glass sculpture,” a suggestion that more evidence concerning its date might be in the offing. The inlaid hawk’s head, number 74, which had once been ascribed to the 18th dynasty, like a similar piece in the Ray Winfield Smith Collection (now in the Corning Museum of Glass), has been reassigned to the Ptolemaic period. The band of varicolored fused inlays at the base in a technique which continued well into the Roman period is a key feature in suggesting this later date. In describing number 85, the half-inlay head of a woman with stylized diadem, Mrs. Riefstahl alludes to the problematic origin of such pieces and repeats the suggestion that they may have been made in the 19th century as “experiments toward the revival of the ancient technique.” There has been much discussion concerning pieces of this type in the last few years, and it has been said that none have been found in care­ fully excavated archaeological contexts. However, it seems as yet too early to state definitely that they are late-19th-century forgeries. In conclusion, this is a useful work, solidly bound, well printed, and conservatively designed. It is to be hoped that, eventually, it will be followed by another catalog describing the numerous examples from the Brooklyn Museum which have been omitted, particularly those from the Hellenistic and Roman periods, which were considered be­ yond the scope of this volume. Paul N. Perrot* Eighteenth-Century Agriculture: A Symposium. Published as vol. 43, no. 1, of Agricultural History. Berkeley: University of California Press, January, 1969. Pp. 213. $1.50. This symposium, held in Washington, D.C., in October 1967, was sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution, Agricultural History Society, and Accokeek Foundation. All were inspired by the “living historical Mr. Perrot, director of the Coming Glass Museum, is editor of the Journal of Glass Studies. 302 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE farms” idea. The Accokeek Foundation has started the National Coloni­ al Farm along the Potomac River opposite Mount Vernon. During the past dozen years there has been a growing enthusiasm for such living historical farms, recreating various dates and regions in our nation’s history; and similar projects are struggling into existence. House of Representatives Bill no. 13909, introduced September 19, 1969, requests a modest Congressional appropriation in aid of this idea nationally, to be administered by the Smithsonian Institution. The nine papers presented at this symposium brought together the latest findings on agriculture in the 18th century. Appropriately, in view of the European antecedents of agricultural practices in colonial America, G. E. Fussell of England and B. H. Slicher van Bath of the Netherlands participated. Biologists and other nonhistorians brought a sometimes stimulating interdisciplinary approach to the subject. For each paper, the cogent reflections of commentators, experts in their own right, lent added interest and information. Some of the papers were a “rehash” of information already well known to those who are up-todate on recent research in agricultural history. Others broke new ground or presented exciting or largely unknown information. If there is a central theme to the symposium, it is the question of whether there was an agricultural revolution in the 18th century as a concomitant of the Industrial Revolution. There is little evidence of such an occurrence in the American..." @default.
