Seite 480 - The altar yet remains and part of the fictile superstructure, but the most remarkable thing is a secret subterraneous passage terminating behind the altar its entrance being at a considerable distance, towards the right of a person facing the altar, and so cunningly contrived as to have a small aperture, easily concealed, and level with the surface of the rock.

The trunk of this tree, with the knotty protuberances left by its branches, is still shewn in a vaulted apartment at the bottom of the principal tower : its roots branch out beneath the floor, and its top penetrates the vaulted arch of stone above, in such a manner, that any person seeing...
Seite 135 - Romans, is well known : but in a very early period, when the arts had attained their full splendour in the age of Pericles, the preference was given by the Greeks, not to the marble of Paros, but to that of Mount Pentelicus, because it was whiter ; and also, perhaps, because it was found in the immediate vicinity of Athens.
