Here and there are proni leenees molded and chiselled by Time into Jupiter hurling his thunderbolt, Hercules, Apollos, Graces, and Nymphs. In such scenes. the lively and imaginative Greeks formed their taste for the pure and simple beauty which distinguishes .their• works of art. Nature is the great teacher, and: breathes_ hey . §pirit r into her children. The ljg>t, aerial, bearity of the dreek works of art, as manifested in their tem ples, statues, and paintings, is only the embodiment of the conceptiojig.ef men who daily looked on 'scens Of - the gre a test nat ural beauty and loveliness. Thus;likewise,• the gloomy colossal works of the ancient. Egyptians are in harmony with Nature.: The iintrodden distances, the yastsolitudes,. the dreamy repose, the intense splendor of an eVer-burning Ann, gave an impress to the works of the earliest civilization on the banks • of, the Nile. And ,temples, gods, sphinxes, pyramids, and tombs, all hail:don * with the apparance and' spirit of na ture.

In those days many of the Islands, were abandoned, and the inhab itants fleeing to neighboring Isles, joined their trembling brethren, and for mutual eafety, built cities in the mountaids. The inhabitants of these Isles- are generally Greeks, under the' domiciim of the Grand ' Sultan, ignorant, volatile, and passionate.- We; find ,among,thellil some, of that herol i c daring and reckless energy, which distill= guished the auciept ;,Greek..
