Excerpt from Greek Buildings: Represented by Fragments in the British Museum

The Introduction to the Ephesus section sets out the chief purpose with which the papers now gathered into a volume were undertaken. The author has tried, by a fresh examination of the marbles in our great Museum, and by a discussion of the opinions which have been held in regard to the Greek monu ments which they represent, to increase the interest taken in them by students, for without some critical activity of mind the mere looking at such things is nearly vain. At the same time he has endeavoured to arrive at clear views as to the original forms of the buildings of which the fragments formed part and to put on record some fresh observations.
