Coming as this statement does from an authority, it gives a fair idea of the place the Pagoda holds among the monumental remains of East Asia.

In the winter of 1883 and 1884 Mr. Percival Lowell, the American astronomer, visited Seoul as the guest of His Majesty the King, and made many notes of things he saw in the Capital.
