In treating on an ancient subject, we have always to lament the loss of those works among the ancient which had reference to it. This celebrated city, the chief seat of Asiatic grandeur, opulence, and civilization; this city, which witnessed the labors of apostles; this city, which became a monument of the fulfillment of divine prophecy: this city, so famous both in pagan and Christian times, is the present object to describe. Beautifully illustrated.

Rich source of Classical information,
By bibliophile (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ephesus and the Temple of Diana (Paperback)
An obscure but classic work on a subject of major importance to historians of Antiquity as well as students of the New Testament. The archaeology is long since outdated, of course, but the information from classical sources is extensive and sound. Many excellent steel engravings of ruins as they existed in the 19th century. Recommended.
