ANCIENT CITIES;

WITH

GENERAL AND PARTICULAR ACCOUNTS

OF

THEIR RISE, FALL, AND PRESENT CONDITION.

BY CHARLES BUCKE.

"Fallen, fallen, a silent heap; their heroes all
Sunk in their urns: Behold the pride of pomp,
The throne of nations fallen; obscured in dust,
Even yet majestical. The solemn scene
Elates the soul !"
