The work is called "Olympia, or Topography illustrative of the actual state of the Plain of Olympia and of the Ruins of the City of Elis." It was published by Murray in 1817, and dedicated to "the Royal Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres of the Institute of France." It was republished in 1824 and 1835, and again with the addition of many engravings in 1865, under the title of "Platæa, Olympia, Elis," receiving a most favourable notice from the press, and notably from the Saturday Review.
