find an inexhaufllble fund of amufement. It
will be very eafy in the courfe of four months
to go to Conftantinople, calling in the way at
all the places on the Eaft fide of the Archipe
lago that are worth feeing; and afterwards when
you are going to Italy, to vifit thofe on the
Weft. I am extremely forry it is not at prefent
in my power to give you a particular defcrip-
tion of all thefe iflands, but at Alexandria you
will eafily obtain every kind of information
concerning them that you can require. In your
return from Conftantinople, after paffing the
N. W. end of Candia, if you will wiih to fee
the South part of Italy, and the ifland of Sicily,
it will be necelfary for you to perform your
quarantine at Malta; but as the Sicilians fuffer-
cd dreadfully from the plague in the year 1743,
I am not certain that you can go from Malta
to any part of that ifland, without being de
tained fome days on board the fhip. At Mef-
fina where the plague raged with its greateft
violence, they often impofe a quarantine of
feven days, even on thofe who come from the
oppofite coaft of Calabria j but .the Neapolitans
are not fo fcrupulous, therefore having got Pra
tique from Malta you may land in that city.
