Excerpt from The Plain of Troy Described: And the Identity of the Ilium of Homer With the New Ilium of Strabo Proved by Comparing the Poet's Narrative With the Present Topoghaphy

An inquiry into the site of Troy is often referred to as a typical example of purely idle and useless questions. Yet the number and price of the numerous volumes on the subject published in the present century tell a different tale; nor will the past history of the poems permit us to doubt that the question will possess an interest as long as men continue to read the Iliad, and this is a pleasure they will not in all probability deny themselves for some thousand years to come.
