This book:Preface by Professor Virchow: 'I saw the Trojan land itself, from week to week, waking up out of its winter's sleep, and unfolding its natural glories in pictures ever new, ever more grand and impressive. I can therefore bear my testimony, not only to the labours of the indefatigable explorer, who found no rest until his work lay before him fully done, but also to the truth of the foundations, on which was framed the poetical conception that has for thousands of years called forth the enchanted delight of the educated world.'Ilios: The City and Country of the Trojans: the Results of Researches and Discoveries on the Site of Troy and Through the Troad in the Years 1871-72-73-78-79; Including an Autobiography of the Author - New York, Harper & Brothers, 1881 - xvi, 800 pp., Map of the Troad, VI Plans, illustrations wood engravings 1-1570 + Illustrations terracotta 1801-2000.
