Excerpt from Greek Pictures: Drawn With Pen and Pencil

This volume has been written at the request of the Committee of the Religious Tract Society, the publishers of the 'Pen and Pencil' series of illustrated books of travel. It is subject to the conditions applied to all the volumes; that is, it draws its pictures from all parts of Greece, and seeks to set forth latest and most accurate information in an interesting manner, without going deeply into those matters which can interest only the student and the specialist.

It has not been an easy task to secure good engravings for the book. There arc a large number of good photographs and sketches in existence of famous temples, works of art, and antiquities ; but the terror of the Greek brigand seems to have hitherto prevented the artist and the professional photographer from travelling far afield in Greece.
