Ponte Salario 31, engraving.
Temple of Rediculus 47, engraving.
Tomb of Theodoric at Ravenna 131, engraving.
Plain of Marathon 291, engraving.
San Niccolò della Kalsa 341, outline.
Temples at Selinus 351, engraving.
By a mistake of the artist, two Turkish figures
have been here introduced, and the engraver
neglected to comply with the author’s desire that
they should be omitted.
Doorway at Monreale 354, outline.
The figures on the capitals were not drawn on
the spot, the author having merely made a
memorandum of their general disposition. They have
therefore been copied from those of other
buildings, in order not to leave a disagreeable
blank in the drawing.
Cyclopean wall at Cefalù 356, outline.
Church of San Michele at Lucca 411, outline.
Arch of Augustus at Susa 427, engraving.
Footnotes
Footnote 1:
The Guido has since been sold.
Footnote 2:
Vide Hobhouse’s Notes to Childe Harold.
Footnote 3:
Another has been since established, and from the zeal and intelligence
of Signor Ernesto Mauri, the present professor, will doubtless become
more valuable; but I am afraid the funds are not sufficient to do it
justice.
Footnote 4:
On returning to Rome in 1818, I found this had been cleaned and
restored by Pomaroli. The operation was admirably performed, and
brought out many circumstances which were lost in its former state.
These things become absolutely necessary in old paintings, yet
supposing nothing of the master to be lost, which is hardly possible,
our confidence that what we see is his production, is nevertheless
inevitably diminished.
Footnote 5:
I do not know where I obtained this. In Dr. Rees’s Cyclopedia, Art.
Discharge, a pipe of 1 inch diameter, at a depth of 4 feet, is said to
discharge 8,135 cubic feet per minute, which would give 76 per second,
with a pipe of ¾ of an inch.
Footnote 6:
Recent excavations show that there were steps at this gate, and it
could not therefore have been for the passage of the triumphant
charioteers.
Footnote 7:
They have since been purchased and placed in the Vatican.
Footnote 8:
Nibby published a work in 1819 on the neighbourhood of Rome, including
Tivoli, Albano, and other places: it may be of use as a guide, but the
subject deserved something better.
Footnote 9:
Nibby, in his _Viaggio antiquario ne’ contorni di Roma_ assents to
Chaupy’s discovery, but is determined to have here also a _Fons
Bandusiæ_.
Footnote 10:
Nevertheless Sir W. Gell has since observed a channel, which he thinks
may have been the ancient watercourse, I believe at about this
elevation.
Footnote 11:
15·64 metres.
Footnote 12:
3·18 metres.
Footnote 13:
182·50 metres.
Footnote 14:
72·40 metres.
Footnote 15:
254·90 metres.
Footnote 16:
I visited it on a later occasion; the form is that of a Latin cross,
each arm of the transept being a square, with a groined vault and an
entablature across the arch, resting on swelling half columns. The
nave is composed of two such squares; the choir is semicircular. The
effect is not bad, nor good enough to be imitated.
Footnote 17:
Forty-one palms.
Footnote 18:
Forty-nine palms.
Footnote 19:
It has since been turned out to make room for the Jesuits.
Footnote 20:
Chateauvieux contends that this is owing to the greater attention paid
to agriculture, and the consequent residence of a greater proportion
of the inhabitants in the country. But the same author confirms what
the observation of every traveller in Italy must have suggested, that
the Italians now create nothing, even for agriculture; their utmost
efforts are hardly sufficient to maintain the important works formed
by republican Italy.
Footnote 21:
This is a word in use among the French artists, but is hardly
legitimated in the language, and I know not whence it came, but it is
a useful term. It is applied to the architectural ornaments of the
17th century, adopted, as they so often have been, without taste, and
without meaning.
Footnote 22:
In 1827 I found the solids of this edifice completed. It is a large
domical building with two wings, formed by two colonnades each of a
quarter of a circle. I do not much like either the masses or the
details. The situation is bad; it ought to have been _on_ the hill,
not _under_ it; and by offering a second object in the Largo del
Palazzo it destroys the unity of the scene.
Footnote 23:
It was removed to the museum in 1826.
Footnote 24:
The road up the Mergellina was formed under the government of Murat;
the descent on the other side was not I believe completed till 1824,
and ruined again by the fall of part of the hill in November, 1825.
Footnote 25:
The whole has since been removed to Naples.
Footnote 26:
My friend Mr. T. L. Donaldson informs me, that he remarked some
remains of a blue colour, on the under side of the mutules; this had
escaped my observation.
Footnote 27:
I feel confident that this is the case, but I only mention it from
memory, as I have no note on the subject.
Footnote 28:
I had noted eighteen to the central, and fourteen to the secondary
openings, but my accurate friend, Mr. T. L. Donaldson, assures me
there are but fifteen and eleven, and this agrees with Revett’s
drawings.
Footnote 29:
Wilkins calls it a thin slab, but it is ten inches and three quarters
in thickness.
Footnote 30:
Wilkins indeed directs us to look from the south, but this must be
from inattention. He cannot mean that by looking very obliquely
through the arch you may avoid all view of the Acropolis; such a
statement would not help his argument.
Footnote 31:
I do not know why mineralogists have assigned this name to a sulphate
of lime; the ornamental marble generally so called, is a carbonate of
lime, and I believe always a stalagmite.
Footnote 32:
Perhaps a Mespilus.
Footnote 33:
Whatever may have been the name of the ancient hero, that of the
modern leader is certainly Othyssefs.
Footnote 34:
Perhaps after what has since taken place, the reader will not be of
this opinion.
Footnote 35:
Perhaps I am mistaken in this: Dr. Clarke seems to have thought it a
new species.
Footnote 36:
Unedited antiquities of Attica.
Footnote 37:
English quarter 8 bushels, 17,200 cubic inches. Maltese salma, 16,930
cubic inches.
Footnote 38:
I suspect an error in this name: it is perhaps Ogliastro, of the large
map of Sicily, about sixteen miles from Palermo.
Footnote 39:
I little guessed that I should find a fashion of a similar sort
prevalent in England on my return.
Footnote 40:
For this fact I am indebted to my friend Mr. T. L. Donaldson.
Footnote 41:
Something has been added to this letter from observations made in
1826.
Footnote 42:
See Letter XLIII.
Footnote 43:
These observations have been incorporated in the former letters from
Rome.
