Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on Smyrna, 1856
Unlike Constantinople, and unlike Sebastopol, General Vlew Smyrna has no undulations in its surface which can cover a single house, either from the sea breeze or the guns of a vessel of war. Its houses are either ranged like the seats in an amphitheatre along the sides of a semicircular line of hills, or on the slopes and levels between those hills and the water edge.
