After between two and three months of active preparations, the expedition was almost ready to start, when an event happened which fatally poisoned the prevalent cheerfulness of the city. This was the mutilation of the Hermæ, one of the most extraordinary events in all Grecian history. The Hermæ, or half-statues of the god Hermes, were blocks of marble about the height of the human figure.
The most prominent figure in the illustration is the god Hermes, as the herald's staff in his right hand shows. The female figures to right and left of him are good examples of that grace in pose and drapery which was characteristic of Greek sculpture in the age of Scopas and Praxiteles. The figure has numerous small restorations, including the feet and the box of manuscript rolls.
Bentham, however, had been favourably noticed in the Hermes for 1822, and his merits since acknowledged by Mittermaier and Warnkönig in the Zeitschrift für Rechtswissenschaft.

"And so you were looking at him, our Messenger with winged sandals. Oh, Rosamund, how wonderful it was at Olympia! I wonder whether you and I shall ever see the Hermes together again. I suppose all the chances are against it."
May God have pity on us both. Jadwiga. It is done! Count Skorzewski! Jadwiga. Ha! Show him in! Show him in! Ha! ha! ha! Apollo and Hermes once met toward evening on the rocks of Pnyx and were looking on Athens. The evening was charming; the sun was already rolled from the Archipelago toward the Ionian Sea and had begun to slowly sink its radiant head in the water which shone turquoise-like.
I was afraid.” “Right.” Themistocles’s lip was curling. “You are more coward than knave or traitor. Phobos, Black Fear, has been your leading god, not Hermes. And now—” “But you have promised I shall escape.” “You shall.” “To-night? What is that you have?” Themistocles was opening the casket. “The papers seized in your chest.
