Présentation de l'éditeur

A rchitecture, or as a guide to some of the most remark able edifices of the Ancient World, the present volume may be found useful. It will show what wonders were achieved by the artists of the old time; and suggest, perhaps, from their careful examination, some canons of criticism which may avail the reader when he comes to inspect certain modern specimens of the so-called classical style. The first book is devoted to examples of Gree Architecture including the glories of A thens, and the temples of Sunium, A egina, and Corinth. In the second, the writer treats of Roffiati A rchitecture; and, after surveying theE ternal City, carries the reader toT ivoli, Paestum, Verona, Puteoli, Segeste, Girgenti, and Taormina.
