'The great quarries have not their like in the world; and both for their vast extent on account of the care and perfection of workmanship displayed in the cutting of the stone, they are to be considered as being among the greatest monuments of human labour known. We have admired the temples and tombs of Egypt as exemples of the skill of the architect and builder; in the reliefs and panitings we have observed with wonder the art of the sculptor and painter.'

THE GREAT QUARRIES OF ANCIENT EGYPT
'The great quarries have not their like in the world; and both for their vast extent on account of the care and perfection of workmanship displayed in the cutting of the stone, they are to be considered as being among the greatest monuments of human labour known. We have admired the temples and tombs of Egypt as exemples of the skill of the architect and builder; in the reliefs and panitings we have observed with wonder the art of the sculptor and painter.'
