Acropolis of Antient Troy. Not having his own 
mind satisfied upon the subject, he would be 
extremely deficient in duty to his Readers, if 
any sense of private regard induced him to

the error concerning the source of the Scamander, 
which first induced M. Chevalier to adapt ap- 
pearances at Bonarhashy to the history of Ilium, 
he is now particularly called upon to point out 
M. Chevaliers other misrepresentations. One 
of the most glaring is that which concerns the 
tempei'ature of the springs": another is, in 
describing the heights now alluded to, as a part 
of the Chain of Mount Ida, although separated 
from it by the whole plain of Beyramitch, which
