To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is still a haly gate belonging to the Krendin at Mos» cow ; and the practice here alluded to is daily exemplified in the Russian city, by all who enter or leave the citadel through that gate. Every thing, therefore, conspires to render the ruins of MjfcewBy and, espedally of this entrance to the Acropolis, preeminently interesting; whether we consider their venerable age, or the allusions made to them in such distant peHods when they were visited by the poets and historians of Greece as t...he classical antiquities of their coua> try ; or the indbputable examples they afford of the archi-* tecture, sculpture, mythology, and customs of the heroic ages. The walls of Mycence^ like those of the citadels of Argos and TirynSy were of Cyclopean masonry, and its gates denote the same gigantic style of structure. Any persoo who has seen the sort of work exhibited by Stonehenge, and by many other Celtic remains of a similar nature, will be at BO loss to figure to his imagination the uprights and the lintels of the gates of Mycenas.
