...time of the erection of the temple is somewhat doubtful, although Bohn advances technical proof tending to show that it belongs to the same period as the Propylaea. Pertelic marble was used in the construction of the temple. The style of architecture, which is lonic, was well illustrated by stereopticon views.

From the first book of this work Dr. Wheeler translated the description of the Propylaea and used it as the basis of his lecture, filling in the imperfect outline given by Pausanias with the details discovered by modern research.
