"Accidents of an Antiquary’s Life" by D. G. Hogarth is a memoir and travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles Hogarth's experiences as an antiquarian, offering insights into archaeology and exploration in places like Asia Minor and Greece. Through his personal journey, Hogarth discusses his development as an antiquary despite early disinterest in the discipline, highlighting the interplay between past and present in the locations he explores. The opening of the memoir introduces Hogarth’s initial reluctance and eventual fascination with the field of antiquarian studies. He reflects on his apprenticeship under the esteemed archaeologist William Martin Ramsay, describing his clumsy beginnings and gradual learning as they travel through ancient sites. As he recounts his early experiences, from clumsy attempts at excavation to his first encounter with the remnants of ancient civilizations, Hogarth vividly illustrates the challenges and rewards of archaeological inquiry, immersing readers in both the beauty and hardships of his travels.
