"Of all the antiquities that have been communicated to the world; of all the remains of ancient monuments brought from the East, none can be compared with the ruins of Palmyra and of Balbec; not only on account of their stupendous magnificence, but for the extraordinary diligence of those gentlemen who have favoured the public with this view of them, and the accuracy and elegance of the designs.
