Excerpt from Collectanea Antiqua, Vol. 7: Notices of Ancient Remains Illustrative of the Habits, Customs, and History of Past AgesWere it possible, whoever attempts to describe monu mental or architectural remains, in foreign countries, or antiquities in museums, should have the assistance of a good artist, else, unless he has plenty of time, either his Observations will not be so c0pious, or his sketches not so complete: he cannot satisfactorily do both. He should be left free to make notes, with, probably, a few details, and, certainly, give inscriptions, unless they are Obviously clear and indisputable. In my visits to Champlieu and Mont Berny, and, indeed to other localities in France, I much felt the want of artistic aid. On all sides I found a pro fusion of remarkable Objects, very many unpublished, but which I was compelled to leave so.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
