FOOTNOTES:
[A] The measurements in the text are the mean of the results attained by the French academicians in 1799, and by Colonel Howard Vyse in 1837. The recent measurements of Mr. Thomas Inglis make the north side 231.64 m., the south 231.49 m., the east and west sides alike 231.19 m., or an average of 231.38 m.
[B] According to Piazzi Smyth.
[C] The fellow of this monolith, known as Cleopatra’s Needle, until recently stood at Alexandria, whither it had been moved from Heliopolis; but having been presented by the late Khedive to the city of New York, it has been shipped across the Atlantic, and erected in the Central Park of that city.

[G] The modern hypothetical distinction between agonal, or festal, temples and those used only for worship is now generally regarded as erroneous; while the existence of a so-called hypæthron—an opening supposed to have existed in the roof and ceiling of the naos for the admission of daylight—is inadmissible from the point of view both of design and of structure.
