"The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus Restored in Conformity With the Recently Discovered Remains" by James Fergusson is a detailed architectural account written in the mid-19th century. The text focuses on the historical significance and restoration of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and examines the body's design and construction based on ancient descriptions and archaeological discoveries." "At the start of the book, the author introduces the subject of the Mausoleum, highlighting the architectural mystery surrounding it and the desire of various architects to reconstruct its appearance. Fergusson references ancient texts by authors like Pliny and Vitruvius, which, despite their inaccuracies, serve as a foundation for the restoration effort. He discusses recent archaeological discoveries made in the ruins of Halicarnassus, which have provided new insights and materials necessary for an accurate reconstruction of this monumental edifice."
