Excerpt from Les Ruines de Pompei, Vol. 1 Comme la couche de matieres volcaniques n'a que peu de profon deur, on con???ut 'l'i-dee'de rendre cette Ville au jour en la d???gageant des cendres et: des scories dont elle est recouverte. C'est a cette pens???e hardie que l'on doit la conservation d'un grand nombre d'???difices pr???cieux qui auparavant n'???taient vus qu'un instant, et disp_ataissaient ensuite pour toujours. Depuis cette ???poque, les amis des arts et de l'antiquit??? accourent de toutes parts visiter ces lieux: ce voyage est devenu pour eux une esp???ce de p???lerinage oblig???. Cependant le plaisir que l'on ???prouve en parcourant les ruines de Pompei est un peu alt???r??? par la consigne s???v???re qui y est ???tablie: il est d???fendu d'y dessiner le moindre objet; et de cet endroit si int???ressant, si instructif, on ne remporte gu???re que de vagues souvenirs ou des regrets.
