The relatively large gap in publication dates has resulted in complete sets being rarely found. "This sumptuous work describes Hamilton's first collection of vases, which was sold to the British Museum in 1772. Shortly after his appointment as envoy to Naples in 1764 Hamilton began collecting vases. Hugues, a self-made antiquarian who had worked with Winckelmann and had close connections with the Dilettanti Society, acted as Hamilton's agent and assisted him in amassing his collection in a relatively short period, the basis of which was the purchase of the Greek vases belonging to the Porcarini family in 1766... This work is of great importance in the development of neo-classical designs for pottery and porcelain; it influenced Wedgewood especially." (Blackmer).

Volume I was originally published in 1769, the second revised edition, present here, was published in 1821 with eight extra plates; volumes V, 1915, is the supplement to volume III, the engravings of which were produced between 1820-1840 but the long delay in producing volume III resulted in its eventual publication after a set of proofs was given to the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1912. The Ionian Antiquities are considered to be the Society of Dilettanti's greatest contribution to archaeology. The work, originally published over 146 years is based on two missions: "The two Ionian Missions - that of Richard Chandler, Nicholas Revett and William Pars, 1764-66, and of William Gell, John Gandy and Francis Bedford in 1812-13, were a major undertaking for what was a society of amateurs, however wealthy they might be as a collective body. The decision to undertake two such missions shows an amazing dedication to the aims of archaeology in what many believed to be merely an assembly of frivolous club men. The materials collected on these missions were truly impressive, especially when one considers the difficult conditions under which the men worked." (Blackmer).
