tiling is wanting, that the rule of the Turkish Pashas should cease, and a reign of law, justice, and liberty should take its place. Then would revive the ancient grandeur of the Khalifs. The Tigris and Euphrates would again water cities equal to the Nineveh and Babylon that once stood upon their banks. A new Tadmor would rival the glories of Palmyra. The Orontes would carry treasures to a restored Antioch, the "Star of the East. " Smyrna would once more become the "Gem of Asia;" and the mariti...me cities of Syria would recall the splendours of Sidon and of Tyre. CHAPTER XII. RAILWAYS IN ASIATIC TURKEY. IT is hardly possible to point to an instance in which the injury caused by defective appliances for the transport of merchandise exceeds that from which Asiatic Turkey is at present suffer- ing.
