Extract

The subject on which I have the honour of addressing you this evening is one far more complicated and difficult than that of the paper which I read to the Royal Society of Edinburgh some short time since. We have to deal, not with the surface of a country and the position of places of which the ancient names are still extant, but with a ruined city, buried to a depth of from 30 to 50 feet in rubbish on which modern buildings having been erected, and with a topography in which, there is scarcely a single important point which has not been controverted by one or more well-known writers.
