Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ruins of Ancient Cities, Vol. 2 of 2: With General and Particular Accounts of Their Rise, Fall, and Present Condition Pausanias* appears to have had great interest in the history of the Messenians, for his history of their wars is more minute and animated than any other part of his narrative. His account of the city gives us a grand idea of what it must once have been; and the present splendid remains produce a conviction of his veracity.
