Pompeii, its history, buildings, and antiquities : an account of the destruction of the city with a full description of the remains, and of the recent excavations, and also an itinerary for visitors . tove in the Kitchen of the House of Punsa. of a frying-pan, with four spherical cavities, as if it weremeant to cook eggs. A similar one, containing twenty-nineegg-holes, has been found, which is circular, about fifteeninches in diameter, and without a handle. Another articleof kitchen furniture is a sort of flat ladle pierced with holes, A flat Ladle called Trua. said to belong to the class called trua. It was meant appa-rently to stir up vegetables, &c, while boiling, and to strainthe water from them. This house has been long excavated, and perhaps that isthe reason that, considering its extent and splendour, thenotices of it are particularly meagre. Of the decorations wehave been able to procure no detailed accounts, thoughseveral paintings are said to have been found in it, andamong them, one of Daniie amid the golden shower, deservingof notice. Of the garden little can be said, for little isknown. According to the best indications which Mazois HOUSES OF PANSA AND SALLUST. 327. 828 pompeii. could observe, it consisted of a number of straight parallelbeds, divided by narrow paths, which gave access to themfor horticultural purposes, but with no walk for air andexercise except the portico which adjoins the house. To give a better notion of the appearance and splendourof a Eoman house we conclude our account with a view ofthe interior, as it has been restored by the taste and learningof Mr. Gaudy Dering in the first volume of Pompeiana, bywhose permission a copy of the plate is here inserted. Theview is taken from the atrium, looking through the tablinumand peristyle to the garden. The decorations are takenfrom indications still existing which point out what hadformerly been here, or from specimens preserved in otherparts of Pompeii. The figures of the Muses are taken
