To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Unfortunately Dr Pierotti's original Plan of the Haram, which was seen by Mr Fergusson at Cambridge, has been presented to the King of Spain: but several photographs were taken from it, from one of which the Plate in Jerusalem Exjilored was drawn; and I am bound to say that the clumsiness and roughness of execu- tion in the lithograph does scanty justice to the neatness and finish of Dr Pierotti's original. A comparison of this Plan with that prepared by Mr Fergusson shews (1) that the detail...s of the build- ings in the north-west angle are so far from being identical, that Dr Pierotti has given careful detail, where Mr Fergusson has given mere tentative outline, supplied, he says, by conjecture, but probably not alto- gether unaided by the best plans to which he had access : — (2) that while both Plans shew a distortion in the South wall of the Haram, the distortion is not the same in both; that in Mr Ferojusson's being, as he tells us, the effect of a "horrid mistake" of the engraver, that of Dr Pierotti the result of design ; a correct representation, as he maintains, of the effects of clumsy repairs of an ancient wall.
