Стр. 179 - The cloud-capt towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherits, shall dissolve ; And, like the baseless fabric of a vision, Leave not a wreck behind ! we are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.
Стр. 93 - Every part of these rocks is cut out by art, in the form of large and small chambers, each of which has its separate entrance ; and, though they are very close to each other, it is seldom that there is any interior communication from one to another.

Стр. 102 - Besides enamelling, the art of gilding was m high perfection among the Egyptians, as Belzoni found several ornaments of that kind.

OWEN. — Very much like the lead we see on paper, in the tea-chests from China, I suppose, mamma ? Emily once had some of it, with the Chinese pictures, from which she wished to copy the figures for the screens. MRS. A. — Yes,...
Стр. 76 - I put a sack filled with sand, that, if the colossus should run too fast into the boat, it might be stopped. In the ground behind the colossus I had a piece of a palm-tree firmly planted, round which a rope was twisted, and then fastened to its car, to let it descend gradually.
Стр. 197 - The pedestal has been somewhat damaged by the instruments of travellers, who are anxious to possess a relic of this antiquity ; and one of the volutes of the column was immaturely brought down a few years ago by the ingenuity of some English captains.
Стр. 190 - It is difficult to form a correct idea of a desert, without having been in one : it is an endless plain of sand and stones, sometimes intermixed with mountains of all sizes and heights, without roads or shelter, without any sort of produce for food.
