Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constantinople There would seem to be no description of the situation and importance of Constantinople so clear, so eloquent, and so minutely accurate, as that of Gibbon. We have therefore transferred it to the following pages, to serve as an introduction, warning our readers that'a know ledge of the topography of Constantinople is absolutely necessary to the right understanding of its history. This which is true of all cities, is more peculiarly true as regards Constantinople. For this reason we have not only preferred to quote Gibbon's account in full, but we have prefixed as frontispiece a map of the city.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constantinople: The City of the Sultans The wonderful beauty of the Site of Byzantium was fully equalled, perhaps even surpassed, by its political and commercial advantages.

The duties levied on corn Ships brought a large revenue to the Byzantines, and the fisheries were a prolific source of wealth; for the fish, which, coming from the Euxine, filled the waters of the Bosphorus, inclined to the European shore, and furnished a living to a multitude of fishermen, as well as food to rich and poor alike.

Three bundles loosely wrapped had been cast against a timber of the Ship; presumably they contained the plunder Of the slaves reduced to the minimum allow ance of travel.
