Pompeii by William Clarke Pdf
Excerpt from Pompeii: Its Past and Present State, Its Public and Private Buildings, Etc, Vol. 1 of 2: Compiled in Part From the Great Work of M. Mazois; The Museo Borbonico, the Publications of Sir W. Gell, and T. L. Donaldson, Esq. But Chiefly From the Ms. Journals and Drawings of William Clarke, Esq., Architect But time works constantly, as well as slowly and therefore, however antiquated the appearance, and however old-fashioned and changeless the habits of any place or people may seem to be, they are sure to present a very imperfect type of what they were even a single century ago. We have often wished, 1 various parts of England, that we could recall for a moment the ancient aspect of the country reclothe the downs of Wiltshire with their native sward, and see them studded with tumuli and Druid temples, free and boundless as they extended a thousand years ago, before the devastations of the plough and Inclosure Acts recall the leafy honours of Notting hamshire and Yorkshire, and repeople the neighbour hood of Sheffield and the Don with oaks instead of steam-engine and manufactory chimneys; or renew the decayed splendour of those magnificent monasteries whose ruins still strike the beholder with admiration. If the romantic fictions of the middle ages could be realized, which tell of mirrors framed with magic art to represent what had formerly passed, or was passing, in distant parts of the earth, the happy dis coverer might soon make his fortune in this age of exhibitions. What exhibition could be found more interesting than acamera-obscura, which should re fiect past incidents of historical or private interest, and recall, with the vividness and minuteness of life, at least the external characteristics of long-past ages.

Rediscovering Antiquity by Christopher Charles Parslow Pdf
This 1995 book examines the early history of the excavations at three important sites of classical antiquity, which came to light in 1738 through the life and work of Karl Jakob Weber, who supervised these investigations from 1750 to 1765. While many of his contemporaries sought only the recovery of precious antiquities to the exclusion of the architectural remains, Weber sought to retrieve evidence of the ancient urban fabric and to relate his discoveries to their archaeological context, thereby establishing the first systematic approach for the excavations. He also proposed a revolutionary manner for publishing his findings, in which all of the works of art from an individual site would appear together with detailed plans, drawings, and commentary drawn from classical and modern sources. His methods were to influence all subsequent publications of contemporary rediscoveries throughout Europe. Based on original excavation documents and plans, contemporary correspondence and the extant archaeological remains.
