ometer, prove beyond doubt that this is a warm
source."--_Ibid._

[6] There, on the green and village cotted hill, is
(Flank'd by the Hellespont, and by the sea,)
Entombed the bravest of the brave--Achilles,--
They say so--(Bryant says the contrary);
And further downward, tall and towering still, is
The tumulus--of whom? Heaven knows: 't may be
Patroclus, Ajax, or Protesilaus,--
All heroes, who, if living still, would slay us.

[7] Celebrated in history as being the place where the
crusaders, under Godfrey of Bulloigne, were encamped.

[8] These pretty diminutive coins are called _dust_ by the
common people; a name not at all inapplicable, as in size
they resemble the following mark [Symbol: circle], and are

[13] Cannon foundry: from _top_, the Turkish word for a

[14] In Turkish, the Prophet is styled Peigshamber: the
French, whose vanity induces them to alter and vilify every
proper name not derived from their own language, persist in
spelling it _Pegchamber_: this, however, seems so ludicrous,
when we consider the exalted rank of the individual to whom
it is applied, that the reader will exclaim involuntarily
with Hamlet,--"To what vile uses may we not come, Horatio!"

[15] Since the above was written, he has returned to London
as ambassador from the Porte.

[16] This mode of executing criminals seems peculiar to the
East, and is partly explained by the word itself. The
Turkish bowstring, which is amazingly strong, is formed of
untwisted silk, generally white, bound together at intervals

curious and intricate knot: the execution
