PREFACE.
The Essay contained in the following pages has no pretension to being a
complete account of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. All that has been
attempted in the present instance is to recapitulate and explain the
various data which have recently been brought to light for restoring
that celebrated monument of antiquity; and to show in what manner these
may be applied so as to perfect a solution of the riddle which has so
long perplexed the student of classical architecture.
At some future period it may be worth while to go more fully and with
more careful elaboration into the whole subject; but to do this as it
should be done, would require more leisure and better opportunities
than are at present at the Author’s disposal for such a purpose.
