One row of nine columns stands almost uninjured. They are sixty-five feet high and support a sort of porch or roof, which connects them with the roof of the building.

Had this man died such was his prominence I should have been paraded as a criminal of the stupid kind in the entire press of America, except in the papers of my own city.
