Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1817. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... Five miles north-east from Deliktash there are some small uninhabited islands, called by Turks and Greeks, the Three Islands. They are unnoticed by Strabo and Ptolemy, but are probably the Three barren Cypriae of Pliny. Opposite to these islands, and about five miles in shore, is the great mountain of Takhtalu. The base, which is composed of the crumbly rock before mentioned, is irregularly broken into deep ravines, and covered with small trees; the middle zone appears to be limestone, with scattered evergreen bushes; and its bald summit rises in an insulated peak 7,800 feet above the sea. There were a few streaks of snow left, on the peak in the month of August, but many of the distant mountains of the interior were completely white for nearly a fourth down their sides. It may be inferred from thence, that the elevation of this part of Mount Taurus is not less than 10,000 feet, which is equal to that of Mount Etna. It is natural that such a striking feature as this stupendous mountain, in a country inhabited by an illiterate and credulous people, should be the subject of numerous tales and traditions; accordingly we were informed by the peasants, that there is a perpetual flow of the purest water from the very apex; and that, notwithstanding the snow, which we saw still lingering in the chasms, roses blow there all the year round. The Agha of Deliktash assured us, that every autumn a mighty groan is heard to issue from the summit of the mountain, louder than the report of any cannon, but unaccompanied by fire or smoke. He professed his ignorance of the cause; but on being pressed for his opinion, he gravely replied, that he believed it was an annual summons to the Elect to make the best of their way to Paradise. However amusing the Agha's theory, it ma...

Been a continued scene of anarchy, rapine, and contention - her former 'ci ties deserted-her fertile valleys tun tilled - and her rivers and harbours idle. Perhaps nothing can present a more striking - picture-of - the pervading sloth and misery, than the hardly credible fact, that, on this extensive line of coast which stretches along a sea abounding with fish, the inhabitants do not possess a single boat.
