A propos du livre

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
