V. N. MYERS, A. M. , Published by HARPER & BROTHERS, 1875. Far eclipsing all other memorials of the past in Persia are the ruins of Persepolis, whose stately columns, massive propylaea, gigantic war- dens, and cyclopean stages are as largely res- ponsible for the lofty conceptions we entertain of Persia's early greatness and magnificence as the pompous periods and gorgeous pictures of her historians. "Not only youthful travelers, glowing with imagination, " writes Vaux, " but those of sober jud...gment, matured by the expe- rience of many years, seem, as they approach these venerable monuments, to be inspired with the genius of Eastern romance, and their res- OF ASIA. 77 pective languages scarcely furnish epithets capa- ble of expressing with an adequate energy the astonishment and admiration excited by such stupendous objects. " If before examining these antiquities we has- tily trace a slight sketch of the ancient Persian Empire, we shall find that the same will be of service to us in enabling us to refer the diff- erent ruins and monuments to their proper place in history; and thus we shall proceed to our survey of these remarkable architectural remains with more interest, and with prospects of fuller instruction, from having first seen at what time, under what influence, and by what ancient kings they had their birth.
