In this 1858 publication, the author reflects on the differences between the ancients and the moderns in their perceptions of natural beauty, using the city of Rome as a case study. Through a series of lectures, Wiseman argues that while moderns may lack the sensitivity and appreciation of the ancients, they can still learn from the past and find inspiration in the natural world around them.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the 'public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
