of I\
now

of Naples, dod fiye miles front VeSuvius. It=
i'rrounded by walls - which have been traced in
varicius parts of their circuit, in order to'determine
us extent. It eiccupies nearly as muchspUce as'
Reading, and must have contained many , more
inhabitants, as its streets are narrower,.and it was
much more densely built. Its walls: Were no

tion,h as already stated,' bappened by }thej great
eruption of • Mount Vdsuvius in the year 79 of /
the Christian era, and it was again discovered in
1750, by a ,vide-dresser, while working in his 1
vineyard, which teas situated ovsr
the city, and near the Sarno: It Was covered to
the depth of twelve or fifteen feet only, by Show
ers of ashes, and pumice -stone, which,are easily
removed. About one-third of the city, comprising
eighteen streets. id the most interesting parts of it,
are now disinterlred. The principal part of these
excavations were made' by theeneach while in
possession of Naples, and they are at preserit still
continued, though slowly, by the Neapolitan go.

• As this itl-fated city presents' the most interest
ing Illustrations of "the habits, mannerir , and cus
toms of the ancients in their minuteit detail, and
as an intense desire to visit it has'been among my
earliest and fondest dream... I wouldi earnestly
beg you to have patience with me if I should de-.
tain you an unreasonable' time within its curious
precints. Let us then proceed sloe. ly and re.iti;

were found, and call to mind those Which we
have already seen wish such intense curiosity iii

Mad. Stark, 'and cariying a chart of the city in.

This road is suppcitsyd to be an extension oldie
famous Via •Appia qom Rome. The' extensive
ruin on our right ,waS the splendid. villa of Marcus
Arius Diomedes, bet,utifully situated on the de
clivity of a hill. This house evidently had three
stories, which was unusushat Pompeii ; the up.'
per one was destroyed, but we will enter the sec
ond by this flight of steps .which leads op from
the street of Tombs. This brings us into the
Peristyle formed of fouecoluinns, - that opens by a
passage into an open Qudrangle surrounded by
four porticos resting on fourteen columns ; with a
large ,cistern in its centre. This received the rain
water, and'conducted it into the well,
.Whose mar.
ble top is deeply worn by the ropes used to draw
water from it. In this story was the Lararium,
or chapel of the household - gods, in Which was
found a beautiful little statue of Minerva. Here
were the servants' rooms, in one of which was
found the skeleton of a dog and here were the
guest-cbambers,in which.visitors were received.
This corridor leads to apartments delightfully
overlooking the sea, and the terraces which rise
up from the garnen. Here is a pretty little cabir.et
or 'boudoir, whose walls are delightfully, painted
and Contains an alabaster jet d'eau in the form of
a table.. This large saloon, is neatly Aecorated
with . paintings of birds, fruits, masks, and in it
were found fragments of a silver vase. Here is
the friehlinium or dining hall, which appears
small for so, sumptuous a house ; but. then you
must recollect that the triclinia were family din
ing rdo:ns only, and that when dinner parties
were given by the ancients their tables , were
spreid in the occus, in the peristyle or under its
porticos. Observe the beautiful frescos in these .
ante-rooms-the car of Diana, with her,stags
un
harnessed, the cat of Apollo drawn by . ,
gryphons,
&c., and all as fresh as if the artist bad just left
his work. What do you think our good ladies
would say, if they were shown into such contrac
ted covey -boles as these, for chambers I They
might readily conceivettthat the servant in a fit of
absence'of mind had mistaken the door and open
ed the clothes press, if they did riot see the low,
narrow platform on which the bed was placed.
These alcoves in the chambers were covered by
curtains, as rings were found at their top. • This
apartment was a dressing-room, in which a num
ber of small glass vases were found; for containing
perfumes and cosmetics. Here is another tric
linium, probably', doignetl . for winter.' Let us
pass through this ante-room, and we shall see the
whole luxuriant arrangement of . the -public baths ;

iof a gentleman - Of wealth:. Bathing , was consi
-1 dered a taxury of the tiro importance among the
ancients., and hence the space occupied by, and
then care and expense oestovved upon their baths.
Here is the Hypecaustrunt or stove room, there
the Prigidariain or cold bath; the Spolialerium
is the hall in whiph the bathers undressed and
dressed.' This apartment had glazed windows,
it was supposed. The Terpidariumwas a ioom
' heated by hot air passed under a Hollow pave
mem. and between double walls, where the bath
, ers were scraped with Strigils and anointed with
oil. - The panes of glass we sawin the Muse
um at Naples, were taken from this apartment,
and the sash-of the window, was found reduced
Ito charcoal. ' This' is the Sudatorium. or steam
bath; this the Cal/day/um or but bath, and this
the Laconicura or hot air bath. The windows
of the Calidariurn were also glazed. • This large'
hall in Roman houses is called the occtes, and was
used as a dining.room on . galifolays. 'reThe small.
cabinet on thisside appears to have been the library , .
whish, although insufficient at the present day to
hold the literary treasure of many ailnovel-read
ing Miss, was yet abundantly 'ample ,to contain,
the whole library of a Pompciian. -Now let us
descend to the ground floor, and eiamine this
large hall, which must have been magnificent,
judging from the remains of the paintings, and
stucco with which its walls Were decorated. In
this apartment 'were found the remains of a
- carpet; These small rooms appear to have been
designed fur servants, and in them were found a
human skeleton, - and that of ,an animal', with is '
install bell, shovels, "and other 'agricultural imple
ments. Here is the kitchen,E and, there is the
oven, and this , 'the kitchen fire place, both of
which might he put to their former uses, so per
feCtly preserved.are they ! I really , feel as if,f
were intruding on the domestic- privacy of this
rich gentleman's house, and 'start at every blast
of Wind., lest I 'should meet one of his slaves,
't nd 'be ordered away. In the kiicheri were found a
:stove, with the' covered bronze; Stew-pan upon it,
, which we saw in the Museuni.l Here is the gar
-den with the very soil laid out ,- as directed by the
good taste of Mad. Diomedes.; eighteen hundred
years ago! It is Hulked by porticos under which
its rich owneccould walk in bad weather and en
'Joy its delOitful.perfunies, and' l a,Nrg,u/a or sum--
mer house was ' erected in its-centre, in which I
was a table supported qn a pedestal, to which the
family no doubt-often resorted in thOse charming
ly mild summer' evenings to take' Hien .ealidu,:.
(hoddrinks, coniiosed of hut wider, wine and spi
ces) as our - good ladies take their tea. , Perhaps,
in the absence of Monsieur, a few intimate or lady
friends Were also admitted, and then a - bit ofscans
dal and -the discuSsion of the fashions from
would give increased zest to their cups of Calida.
Near these Skeletons were 1116 fohnd fragments
of silver'vases, and that linen wrapper in the' Mu-
seein, confainm r g, eighty-eight silver, ten gold and ',
nine bronze coins.. Here in this part of • thM gar- -'
den is the reservoir fur fish, embellished by 'a jet
&eau; for a Roman cook it is said always select
ed his fish perfectly fresh. , Observe a number of
i Arophom (wine .jars) leaning - -against the - back
wall of the garden; tiv - y, were probably set out in
preparation 'for the approaching vintage. Under
these , porticos 'of the garden were the cellars ai
3ou see, lighted sand ventilated
~from the street, by
loop holes formed 'exactly, like those of modern
date. - In this cellar were found the skeletons of
eighteen adults and two chtldreo, one quite an in•
'fant. The cellar wits nearly :filled up with fine
ashes'hiown in thMugh the locqi holes, and foto'-
eel perfect moulds around each corpse. rt. you will
come a little nearer', you will see the distinct im
pression of, the female breast and part of the neck
here against the wall: This unfortunate subject
seemed to have perished in a standing - position.=
What must have been the horror end alarm of i
this wretched group of huMan beings on that aw
ful day of-destruction and devastation ! Near the 1
skeleton of the young woman, the impression of 1
whose body you have seen in theidndurated ashes,
were found several geld neeklaceaNlver and bronze - 1
rings, a comb, and in her hand a purse full of cop
per
. coins. Thisis i.ei purse which you saw at . .!
the Museum so surprizingly preserved. On the
other side of the street and nearly' opposite this
house, you see the tombs of the family of Diomedes.
• , Adjoining the villa of Diomedes, towards the
P
gate,of the city, is a small, rectangular structure,
whdse wall's ale struccOed and adorned with paint
ings, which
. contains- three platforins, couch
es, and the marble pedestal of a tahle. In this
was eaten the Silic , rutiain 'or funeral repast.—
Farther on you observe some' beautifill tombs in
white marbleon the sameside of the way. The first
beafs the inscription of Navoleta Tyche and daius
Marianas Faustus„ and is an elegant funeral
monument in the form of 'an altar, whose
-side are
ornamented a lvith. bassi-relieva One of them rep- j
resents a vessel going into, port, Its.interior you,:
observe is a Colu,nbariunr, (Mates constructed to
receive the cinerary urns) in Which 'were found
three hirge glass vases 'or urns Cased in lead, and
containing burnt hones., rind a liquor Composed et . ' •
orrand wine. Marry 'lamp and bins ut pottery. ,
Wive zilo - found here. The nexcis the I..sgiliti;
cent tocib of Cuircraios Quietus, who, it aPpisars
from Mil inscription, was sire of the Augusta's, an
order of priests bearing a high rank.- Let us now
cross to the opposite side of the, street, and exam
ine yon tomb without an inscription, and having a
marble door by which vse,,can enter it. It hart but
one niche, in which was ' found a, single cinerary
urn, containing burnt bones and ashes, and on it
was deposited a gold ring: Here on the righl side
of the street is the tomb of Airicius IScourns,
embellished with bassi.relievi of glailistoral corn
-huts.. Its interior is a very perfect epluorba , iuoi,'
consisting of; many compartinents. It appears
from the inscription that the I titagtstrate's of the
city bad decreed art equestrian I swum- of Scaurus '
to be erected in the Forum. 1
Nearly opposite this you observe the ruins of a
Very large Imildirig that Was fronted. by a long
portico, This was a tfospifium or inn. Here
in the court yard is the fountain with a
. watering
Place for cattle, still in good repair. • Under the
ruins of the portico were found five skeletonsof
human subjects who appeared to have perished in
each other's embrace. -They are stipPoserl to have
been a mother and tier children: Two othet ske
letons were also found in this house with a number
of gold and bronze coins near them. A great va
riety of interesting articles were, found on this spot
which you saw in the min:mina', Gold rings and
ear rings, lamps, water buckets, tongs, scales, cups,
pots,' vases; [ochry Matirries of"glass, bottles; pad
locks, a marble mortar - exactly resembling modern
ones:dice, &e., 4r.c, These i.tllaries or ; the top
of the building must have, commanded a magnifi

On th right hand side of the way, and opposite
to the inn you observe that large square spice
originally suirounded by porticos. This was
tscslled the V4trina, or 'the Once Where the dead
were burnt and their ashes colleCted. • This plat
form of mas o nry, and these hrell'en vases ore =up•

path leads up to the ruins of a spacious villa,
which has received the name,: fur what reason I

those beautiful mosaics. Made by Dioscodes of Sa

scenes which we so much admired in the museum.
. • Oppgite this villa is a small semicircular
ing with a seat of mason work-aroian4 it, and on
the right hand side of the way neap the gate, are
two similar Ones, finished willti,stu,ccq am* roofed.
They seem to have been designed as resting places
for foot passengers. Near the first were found
two_ skeletons with numerous broego and gold
coital. This niche akin to the city gate was the

• This street, ene of tilt principal ones, is called
. the Via Doinitiana. It. - kith is thirty-three feet
including the side 'tvalice, which are about five feet
wide, arid raised about a foot and a half abtive the

various shapes and Fize laid in a strong cement
arid joined withgreat - ex ctitude. This was the
common mode of pavirig swung the Romans.—
The side walks are paved in the satire way with
smaller pieces and more heterogeneous materials,
including fragments' of bricks. Here you observe
the ruts worn to the de;ith of several inches by the
action of the carriage wheels. The distance be

about four feet. - : The liirst house sin our right with
