Excerpt from The History of Ancient Art: Among the Greeks Cline and fall - and also the causes to which may reasonably be attributed the points of resemblance and difference observable in the arts of different na tions. The soundness of his judgment, the acuteness and originality of his observations, and the copious ness of his illustrations, drawn from an intimate familiarity with every extant monument of ancient art, and with everything in ancient classic literature which could elucidate the subject to which he had devoted his life, render him the most trustworthy, instructive, and delightful of the writers on art.
