in facilitating the labours of the architect and artist."

finished in colours. The second volume, which will complete the work, is
now in progress, and will be completed early in 1850.

"Mr. Boyes has collected these illustrations more for the purpose
of determining the heads of thought by a comparison of minds, than
for the detection of Plagiarism. His work will amuse those whose
days of study are gone by, but who love to review their classic
recollections, and to recall those images of sublimity and beauty
which had delighted their young hearts and charmed their youthful
fancy. To use the language of Cicero, he has rendered those studies
which nurtured boyhood delightful to age"--_Athenæum_
"This is one of the most pleasing classical works that we have
lately read. The Author shows very extensive poetical reading, a
quick perception, accurate memory, and well-formed
taste"--_Gentleman's Magazine_
