Note 34 — INTRODUCTION.

Besides the proceeds of the systematic researches enumerated above, the collection of sculpture has been frequently increased during the present century with the specimens collected by private travellers in the East. Thus in 1818, H. Gally Knight (1784-1846), an antiquarian and writer on the history of architecture, with N. Fazakerly, presented a statue from Athens.34 In 1820, J. P. Gandy Deering (1787-1850), an architect who had taken part in the Dilettanti Expedition to Ionia of 1811, presented sculptures that he had discovered at Rhamnus in Attica.35 In 1839, Colonel W. M. Leake, an eminent traveller and topographer (1777-1860), presented several Greek sculptures.36 A small collection of reliefs, and of architectural fragments from Athens and elsewhere, was purchased from H. W. Inwood, the author of a treatise on the Erechtheion.
