| Summary | "Letters of an Architect, From France, Italy, and Greece. Volume 2" by Woods is a collection of travel letters written in the early 19th century. The volume encompasses the author's insights and observations as he journeys through architectural marvels and historical sites across Rome and its surrounding areas. The text likely serves as both a personal travelogue and an architectural commentary, weaving together the experiences of exploration with a detailed appreciation of the structures and their historical relevance. The opening portion introduces Woods' detailed annotated reflections on various architectural sites in Rome as he sets out on a walk through the city. He describes his encounters with ancient ruins, churches, and public works, providing both observations and criticisms of the structures' aesthetic qualities and historical importance. The narrative unfolds through specific landmarks, such as the walls of Tarquinius Superbus and the Fontana di Termini, with Woods interspersing his descriptions with historical context and personal impressions, illustrating the interplay between history, architecture, and the physical journey he undertakes.
