PREFACE.

The Essay contained in the following pages has no pretension to being acomplete account of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. All that has beenattempted in the present instance is to recapitulate and explain the various datawhich have recently been brought to light for restoring that celebratedmonument of antiquity; and to show in what manner these may be appliedso as to perfect a solution of the riddle which has so long perplexed thestudent of classical architecture.

At some future period it may be worth while to go more fully and withmore careful elaboration into the whole subject; but to do this as it should bedone, would require more leisure and better opportunities than are at presentat the Author’s disposal for such a purpose.
