| Notes |
Photograph is printed in a book with a description beneath printed description: "(Jeremiah, x: 10.)--'But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.' Jeremiah is supposed to have written the words referred to above about B.C. 600. In this very year Pherecydes, the philosopher, was born, and this was a flourishing period of the Doric and Ionic orders of architecture in Athens. The Parthenon, fallen columns of which are shown in the above picture, was the most beautiful specimen of Doric architecture ever seen. Looking upon these pieces of broken marble as they lie scattered on the Acropolis, we can no help feeling the force of the words of Jeremiah:'The nations of the earth shall not be able to abide his indignation.' In no other nation has architecture come to such high and exquisite perfection as in Greece, but it was all consecrated to idolatry." "Vol. 2" and "L" are printed beneath the text. Quality: Good |
