In the representation of Ancient Geography there is this disadvantage, that we use authorities, m many cases incomplete and mutilated in themselves, treating of subjects which frequently were very imperfectly known to their authors. It is true that very often the ancient writings are so lucid and explicit that we are compelled to acknowledge our inferiority in knowledge, and modern enterprise is continually re-discovering (so to speak) that which was perfectly familiar in the early ages ; and although, in many instances, we are enabled to follow their narratives and descriptions even to the most minute particulars, and apply them to existing facts ; yet, to make a complete picture of the countries av tnu period, we are compelled to fill up many vacancies, and supply many features from less clear and correct sources.
