Here, not a temple...
Стр. 87 - Obscurity hangs over, not the origin only, but the general history of the city, though it has left such magnificent monuments of its existence. The mere outlines have been sketched perhaps with accuracy; the details are probably obliterated for ever. According to the learned Mazzochi...
Стр. 88 - Sybarites are said to have occupied the neighboring plain ; the Dorians therefore appear to have the fairest claim to these majestic and everlasting monuments. But at what period were they erected ? to judge from their form we must conclude that they are the oldest specimens of Grecian architecture now in existence. In beholding them and contemplating their solidity bordering upon heaviness, we are tempted to consider them as...
Стр. 12 - Quamvis digressu veteris confusus amici, laudo tamen, vacuis quod sedem figere Cumis destinet atque unum civem donare Sibyllae.
