"In the State Paper Office in London, it is reported, there may be seen a lady with copying clerks under her control, engaged in deciphering, epitomizing, and cataloguing the important parchment State pipers and records of several centuries back. This lady, about twenty-five years ago, published a work entitled Letters of Royal and Illustrious Ladies,' which attracted the attention of competent judges for the patient care in selecting authorities and the extensive range of historical the State Paper Office, to examine papers, the lady exhibited research displayed by the authoress. Subsequently, in visiting unusual skill in deciphering old manuscripts, and all the above qualifications combined to point her out as a suitable person to pursue antiquarian researches.

"Wood's work renders any other description of Balbec unnecessary."-BURCKHARDT: Travels in Syria.

"The ruins of Baalbec, invisible to the writers of Antiquity, excite the curiosity and wonder of the European traveller. I am much better satisfied with Maundrell's slight octavo (Journey, p. 134-139) than with the pompous folio of Dr. Pocock, (Description of the East, vol. ii. p. 106-113;) but every preceding account is eclipsed by the magnificent description and drawings of MM. Dawkins and Wood, who have transported into England the ruins of Palmyra and Baalbec."-GIBBON : Decline and Fall, ch. li., text and note. See, also, ch. xl., n.; Lon. Athen., 1862, ii. 807, 1863, 53, 87.

"Of all the works that distinguish this age, none perhaps excel those beautiful editions of Balbec and Palmyra. . . . And when I endeavour to do justice to the editions of Palmyra and Balbec, I would not confine my encomium to the sculptures. The modest descriptions prefixed are standards of writing; the exact measure of what should and what should not be said, and of what was necessary to be known, was never comprehended in more clear diction or more elegant style. The pomp of the buildings has not a nobler air than the simplicity of the narration."-HORACE WALPOLE. See, also, his comments above.
