| Publisher Description: 1878. Visiting the ancient countries of Egypt, Greece and Italy being the chief object of traveling at the present day, the consequent interest taken in the remains of the former grandeur, magnificence, and high civilization of these countries, has made archeology one of the most important and most interesting studies. Egypt, Greece and Italy were the fountainheads of our civilization and the sources of our knowledge; to them we can trace, link by link, the origin of all that is ornamental, graceful and beautiful in our architecture, sculpture and in the arts of design. Copiously illustrated. |
