Excerpt from Letters of an Architect, From France, Italy, and Greece, Vol. 1 of 2 Some persons may deem an apology necessary for the positive tone which the author has adopted in mere matters of Opinion. He had in fact, at first, frequently introduced the expressions, I think, It seems to me, and others similar. The reflection that what ever he could say on such subjects, was necessarily the mere ex pression of his own sentiments, has ultimately induced him to.
