Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Antiquities of Ionia, Vol. 2: Published by the Society of Dilettanti Other modern sophists, of a very different kind from these shallow retailers of the froth of history, have taken the contrary extreme; and because their deep researches could not discover that liberty, happiness, and security, for individuals, in ancient states, which superficial declaimers attributed to them, have questioned all the accounts of their energy, power, and population; and thus endeavoured to subvert all the authority of ancient history. The learned and elaborate essay of a late very acute and ingenious sceptic on this subject, is well known;* but without entering into any critical discussions concerning the corruptions of the texts, or the uncertainty of numerals in the Greek historians; or repeating any of the commonplace accusations of their disposition to exaggerate; we may, in answer to all the sceptical reasoning that human ingenuity can produce, point to the vast remains of splendour and power in the mouldered ruins of their public buildings; not only in the great ruling states, such as Athens, Corinth, and Syracuse, but in little obscure republics, such as Pastum, Segesta, and Selinus, whose names alone can be gleaned from history by the diligence of the antiquary; yet has the last and most obscure of these little states, left buildings, which surpass in size, strength, and solidity of construction, not only all that the greatest potentates of modern times have been able to accomplish, but all that was ever produced by the unlimited resources and unlimited despotism of the Roman emperors. The portico of the great temple of Selinus in Sicily, which is one of six still remaining, prostrate and in ruins, on the site of that city, consisted of a double peristyle of eight columns in front.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Antiquities of Ionia, Vol. 4 About the middle of the last century the Society of Dilettanti, which had been founded in 1734, determined to send a mission to explore the ancient sites and remains of archi tecture and sculpture in Greece and Asia Minor. This mission, which consisted of Messrs. Chandler, Revett, and Pars, left England in 1764, and after visiting Smyrna and other places on the west coast of Asia Minor, proceeded to Athens. The results of this first mission were recorded in T/ie Antiquities of Ionia, Part I. Published in 1769, and Part II. In 1797. In 1812 the Society sent a second Mission to Greece and Asia Minor under the direction of Sir William Gell, who was accompanied by the architects John Peter Candy and Francis Bedford. The labours of this second Mission enabled the Society to publish, in 1817, a volume on T/le Antiquities o/'attica, and in 1840 a third part of Tfie Antiquities of Ionia. They also republished, in 1821, Part I. Of the same work, with many additions and corrections. In 1851 the Society published Mr. Penrose's work on T/ie Principles of Athenian Architecture, in which he has recorded his investigations as to the optical refinements which the Parthenon and certain other buildings at Athens possessed.
