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.
