Excerpt from Observations 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, Not Present Any Contrast

Such being the state of things, it became a service of some danger, for an humble individual to enter the lists, in the face of an opinion, which had been repeatedly approved by men of the first erudition in Europe, during the last twenty years but as it will be made to appear, that their opinions were founded an an erroneous statement of the Topography, as well as of the temperature of the Springs, (absolutely as well as comparatively), the Author trusts that he will stand acquitted of presumption, or of a wish to cavil.
