Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The association of ideas that will necessarily arise in contemplating these wondrous works of past ages, leads to the notice of other fabrics of a similar kind of after-times, as well as to those of our own day'; as the more remarkable mausoleums or memorials of. The great and the brave - the Pyramids of India and Mexico - and those vast mounds of similar form in other parts of the globe; and in connection with the Pharos that originated a name for such structures, the Pharos of the Emperor Claudius at Ostia; among others of modern date, the superb one at Cordouan; andespecially, we may refer with pride to those paragons of engineering triumph Over natural obsta cles, - the light-houses on the Eddystone, and the Bell Rock.
