Part 16

[18] I cannot bid adieu to Lord Ponsonby and his amiable family, without acknowledging how much the pleasure derived from my voyage and visit to Constantinople was enhanced by their unceasing kindness. Indeed, from the first moment I became acquainted with his Lordship in Naples, he has uniformly treated me with a degree of affability as flattering to me as it was kind in him; besides honouring me, up to the present moment, with a confidence which, in general, is the result only of long tried and intimate friendship. This is the more gratifying, because he has always been surrounded by young men in every respect as worthy of the same distinction as myself.

[19] I ought to have mentioned before, that Terapia is a village some miles distant from Constantinople.

[20] Foreign Quarterly Review.

[21] Vignette in title-page.

[22] Duchess of Berri.

[23] St. John's Egypt.
