Excerpt from Hellas: Her Monuments and Scenery
It has been a labour that was its own reward to collect these notes of personal observation during a tour in Greece, and combine them with the results of some subsequent study of the principles of Grecian Art. The work was begun, and in part carried through the press, in the hollow calm of the last Presidency; but when the bitter truth was manifest that our republic was doomed to drink the calamities of civil war, the author threw down his pen, for he had no heart to dwell on other themes than the one object of all our interests and all our cares.
