. Old Testament and Semitic studies in memory of William Rainey Harper;. The Hermitage Fig. 27.—Metropolitan Museum priest, standing by it in an attitude of worship, and repeated forsymmetry. The altar is much like that seen on a cylinder inFig. 27 with which should be compared the more elaborate, butdifferent, fire-altar in Fig 28. 380 Seals in the Hermitage Museum It is greatly to be desired that the large collections in theBritish Museum, the Louvre, the Bibliothfeque Nationale, theBerlin Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum should be pub-lished in heliogravure. Only one large collection has as yet beenmade accessible to scholars, that belonging to the late M. de Clercq,although a few small public and private collections have appeared,like those of The Hague, the Joanneum of Graz, the Cypriotecylinders collected by di Cesnola, and those belonging to de la Chapelle and Sir Henry Peek. Great treasures areyet hidden in museum-drawers and unavailable to scholars.
