Extract

I beg to enclose you three Drawings, shewing the situation and appearance of those primitive and colossal remains, existing on the island of Goza, called the “Giant's Tower” by the natives. I am only able to send you the mere Views, because the measurements I took, and the remarks I made upon the spot, were given to my late friend Colonel Otto Beyer, the then resident Governor. To this gentleman we owe the clearing out of these antiquities, and it was his intention to have submitted to the public a very detailed account of his Operations, but sudden death frustrated the measure.
