Note 071 I am much better satisfied with Maundrell's slight octavo, (Journey, p. 134 - 139), than with the pompous folio of Dr. Pocock, (Description of the East, vol. ii. p. 106 - 113;) but every preceding account is eclipsed by the magnificent description and drawings of Mm. Dawkins and Wood, who have transported into England the ruins of Pamyra and Baalbec.]
