Strana 31 - Bristol was so enamoured, that he offered a considerable sum to transport it to his park in England ; but the government wisely interposed, and prohibited its removal. The lover of art betrays nothing but absurdity in wishing to remove whole buildings from their accustomed site. What but a ridiculous ostentation could suggest the removal, for instance, of either of the Paestan temples, which might be imitated at less cost at home, and at the same time call forth the talents of native workmen ? We...

Strana 123 - ... Appennines, contrasted with the heat of the day, is very trying to travellers ; but scarcely had the sun risen an hour, than we regretted the past freshness of the night ; and on reaching Valmontone to breakfast, the air was filled with a stirring buzz of the insect tribe, put in motion by the increasing heat ; the varieties were numerous and brilliant. The coffee-house in the Piazza, filthier than many outhouses in England for lumber or poultry, furnished us with a beve* Liv. xxvi.
Strana 49 - ... trace the contradictory statements of the learned respecting the last. Their descent perplexed the ancients as well as moderns. Herodotus tells us that they came from Lydia; Varro, and Aristides quoted by Strabo, will have it that they are Pelasgians ; Bochart, that they came from Canaan or Phoenicia ; Buonaroti, from Egypt ; while Pelloutier, Freret, and others, maintain that they were of Celtic origin. It is probable that the Aborigines and the Tuscans were indigenous in the strict sense of...
Strana 118 - The sum total of these considerations accelerated our departure ; and we resolved on striking across the country by a by-road through the woods to Frusinone, a town distant from Arpino about twenty miles. This, also, is a most ancient city of the Volsci, ' Ferocior ad rebellandum quam ad bellandum gens,' as they are described by Livius.

I entreat you then to look upon him as one of my most valuable friends. -You cannot confer a clearer testimony of your good will, than by proving that this letter will be of infinite use to him '— Ep.

Strana 115 - Following the course of Atticus, by the poplars which shade the Garigliano, we took the lesser falls in succession, one of which .glides without foam, in the manner that Ruysdael paints his cascades ; a second forms a complete horse-shoe fall ; and another shoots, in a very oblique direction, across the river. We reached •the verge of the great cataract : ' Ces eaux qui tombent, se rele.vent, jaillissent, se detournent, s'amoncelent, s'echappent, se pre"ei.pitent, s'abyment,' as some French traveller...
Strana 131 - Pirgmal waters to the capital, stretched their dark arcades in broken lines along the landscape, which harmonized with the fallen grandeur of the Niobe of nations. The walls of the city, in which it is easy to observe at least three distinct dates, presented soon their venerable curtains ; and after passing the church, wherein the ashes of Helena, the mother of Constantine, repose, we reached the capital by the via Labicana, after an interesting, but perilous circuit of one hundred and eighty miles...
