Excerpt: ...of the magnificent edifices of Babylon, as described by classical authors, and whether in all their variety of construction any remains of the arch is to be found. As his remarks are very curious, and the "Munimenta" rather a costly work, I shall give the passage in his own words, only a little abridged in respect to the profusion of Greek learning displayed in it. "Concerning its great bridge over the Euphrates, Herodotus expressly tells us, that it was built first of stones bound together with lead and iron; upon which were laid oAa Tetjd.yma, squared beams. It must, therefore, plainly have consisted merely of a certain number of stone piers, with timbers placed from pier to pier. "And that there were no arches, in the gates of its walls, is most decidedly apparent, from the particular words Herodotus makes use of, and from the precision of his account. "For he says, that in the compass of its walls there were an hundred gates, all of brass, even their posts, and their upper lintels of the same metal; where the peculiar word uVf'pflupa, upper lintels, excludes utterly every idea of an arch. "Diodorus, indeed, besides the bridge, describes a subterraneous covered passage under the Euphrates, by means of which the Queen could pass from the old palace to the new palace, a distance that, according to Strabo's account, cannot have been less than the extent of a stadium; and this passage has been supposed to have been arched. "But when we come to examine the words of Diodorus with more minute precision, we may perceive, that, although it might be deemed to have been indeed vaulted, yet that no real arch was introduced in the construction; and that the closing of the vaulting above was merely by a...

Excerpt: ...be particularly examined, partly with a view to find the ancient bed of the river between them, and partly to ascertain the precise limits as well as the altitudes of the mounds and the level of the subterraneous passage. The mound lying between the Kasr and the Mujelibe should also be examined. It has probably been dug into for bricks, and some information may be collected from a view of the excavations. 134 TOPOGRAPHY OF ANCIENT BABYLON. It has not yet been distinctly shown by any person of what quality the materials of the substratum of the Mujelibe are. Much may be collected from a knowledge of this circumstance, as it is possible that it may have been a natural eminence reduced to that form; such a one being said to occur at Musseib, a place at the side of the Euphrates, higher up on the same side (of Mesopotamia). As Mr. Rich projected other excursions to these ruins (see his Memoir, page 45), we may soon expect some further information, and that probably of an interesting kind. It is obvious, however, that very much time will be required for the purpose of examining the different objects generally, they being so numerous and so widely extended.
