THE THEBAN LION.

The following extract from an un-
published Journal of a Tour in
Greece, will, we are sure, be accepts
able to very large portion of our
readers.
Son Wednesday, the sd of June,
1915, our party, consisting of four,
set out from the house of the Arehon
Logothetti, a rich Greek merchant
at Labadea. whose kindness and hos
pitaIity to English travellers is we'll
known. Our object was to explore
the ruins of Charona, in Beotia.-
Numerous pieces of sculptured orna-
ments collected together at a foun
tain, the remains of a theatre. &c. we
had passed the evening before, pro-
missing much subject for study; and
we encouraged hope that the spade
and a little exertion would reward us
with some antique specimen of art.
In two hours, We crossed the hills.
partly by an ancient paved road. and
arrived at the edge of a plain, within
a quarter of mile of Cheronea,
and in sight of the fountain and the
atre. Here we halted to examine a
niece of white marble that lay by the
road side, portion only of which
was to be seen, the greater part be.
ing. az we afterwards discovered,
buried under the earth. which rose
like a fat tumulns, or gave the idea
of a platform, or base of temple.
Whilst our friend 49, referred to
the extracts and notes provided to
direct our pursuits. the eagerness OF
had encouraged our attendants
TO remove the soil, when the object
of our research was found TO be COL
lossaI lions head, of bold and beauti
full workmanship. From the nose to
the top of the head it measured four
feet six inches; and from the fore
head, where broken off just above
the shoulder, five feet nine inches.
A part Of one of the hind legs lay at
some little distance, two feet three
inches in diameter. together with the
Otherparts of the statue. Arranging
these masses, We decided that the at
titude had resembled the one placed
on the summit of Northumberland

Satisfied that this was the tomb

"Near this city [Charonea Is
common sepuichre OF those Thebans
that fell in the engagement against
Philip. There is no inscription on
the tomb, but a lion stands on il,
which may be supposed to signify the
great vehemence of these men in
fight. But it appears to me that
there is no inscription on the sepuI-
Chre, because the Damon did not
permit the consequence OF their cou-

statue alone weighed upwards of
three tons, and being several miles

were possessed of could be adopted;

arrival in England. subscription
might be set on foot for the purpose
of importing this vast statue to our

heroes who in like manner have fall
