[711] This view of the temple (subst.i.tuted for one by A. de Jorio, given in the earlier editions) has been reduced from part of a beautiful colored drawing taken in 1836, with the aid of the camera lucida, by Mr. l'Anson to ill.u.s.trate a paper by Mr. Babbage on the temple, read March, 1834, and published in the Quart. Journ. of the Geol. Soc. of London, vol. iii.

1847.

[712] Mr. Babbage examined this spot in company with Sir Edmund Head in June, 1828, and has shown me numerous specimens of the sh.e.l.ls collected there, and in the Temple of Serapis.

[713] This view is taken from Sir W. Hamilton, Campi Phlegraei, plate 26.

[714] This spot here indicated on the summit of the cliff is that from which Hamilton's view, plate 26, Campi Phlegraei (reduced in fig. 88, p. 509) is taken, and on which, he says, Cicero's villa, called the Academia, anciently stood.

[715] On the authority of Captain W. H. Smyth, R. N.

[716] Dissertazione sulla Sagra Archittetura degli Antichi.

[717] This appears from the measurement of Captain Basil Hall, R. N., Proceedings of Geol. Soc., No. 38, p. 114; see also Patchwork, by the same author, vol. iii. p. 158. The fact of the three standing columns having been each formed out of a single stone was first pointed out to me by Mr. James Hall, and is important, as helping to explain why they were not shaken down.
