196 Remarks on the Site of Troy 
‘«‘ Beside them may be seen the broad canals 
“Of marble scooped, in which the wives of 
‘Troy 
‘And all ber daughters fair were wont to lave 
‘Their costly garments, whilst the land had 
rest, 
“And e’er the warlike sons of Greece arrived. 
Iliad, XXII, 173. 
Respecting the springs of Bournabashi 
the accounts are contradictory enough. Che- 
valier does little more than affirm that one of 
them is hot and the other cold. Morritt de- 
clares that one spring is as warm as the hot 
baths of Bristol; and others again maintain 
that bothare hot, or botharecold. But theex- 
periments of Dr. Clarke (27) have determined 
the temperature of these springs to be the 
same (viz. 62° of Farenheit’s thermometer, ) 
and, in the latitude of the Hellespont, we 
believe, this degree of heat will entitle them 
to the character of warm springs. But not- 
withstanding the indications of a thermo- 
meter, we can add our testimony to that of 
every traveller who has visited the Troad, 
that there exists a current belief amongst the 
natives, that the spring nearest to Bourna- 
bashi is a warm one. Dr. Clarke himself: 
appears to have been most forcibly struck
