First sentence: THE scientific principles of beauty appear to have been well known to the ancient Greeks; and it must have been by the practical application of that knowledge to the arts of Design, that that people continued for a period of upwards of three hundred years to execute, in every department of these arts, works surpassing in chaste beauty any that had ever before appeared, and which have not been equalled during the two thousand years which have since elapsed.
