The accompanying Drawings are traced from sketches I made at Pæstum in the year 1824, when in pursuit of professional knowledge there; they appear to me to possess a considerable degree of interest both architecturally and archæologically, and having lately heard a Paper read at one of the sittings of the Society of Antiquaries, when I was present as a visiter, on a somewhat similar subject, I am induced to submit them to their consideration, with a few remarks in explanation, and a few hints in the hope of elucidating them.
