A COMPARATIVELY RARE ACKERMANN PUBLICATION ON GREECE. In his preface the author states he arrived in Athens just after the withdrawal of Turkish forces, and that as a consequence of the recent fighting "all the rude buildings which had for centuries deformed and obscured the noble relics of ancient art were removed, and thus an opportunity was afforded of examining their proportions and appreciating their beauties".
