ON THE

TOPOGRAPHY

OF THE

PLAIN OF TROY;

AND ON THE PRINCIPAL OBJECTS WITHIN, AND AROUND IT
DESCRIBED, OR ALLUDED TO, IN THE

ILIAD.

SHEWING

That the SYSTEM of M. DE CHEVALIER, So long upheld, is founded on a MOST
ERRONEOUS TOPOGRAPHY. And also, that the Two SOURCES, denominated
the WARM, and the COLD, SPRING, on which his System materially rests, Do
NOT PRESENT ANY CONTRAST; but are EXACTLY ALIKE, in Point of TEMPE-
RATURE; that is, COLD.

WITH A MAP,

In which the TOPOGRAPHY set forth by M. DE CHEVALIER, is contrasted with the
several Statements of THREE OTHER TRAVELLERS in the TROAD. Also, a Sketch
of the Western Part of the REGION of MOUNT IDA.

τα έτοιμα μαλλον τρέπονται.

In the Investigation of Truth, most men are so sparing of labour, that they willingly
embrace those opinions which most readily present themselves.
