Excerpt from Discoveries in Asia Minor, Vol. 1 of 2: Including a Description of the Ruins of Several Ancient Cities, and Especially Antioch of Pisidia
It is supposed by many, and the writer has heard often, even from those who have visited the countries of the East before him, that every spot, especially in Greece, is so exuberant in antiquities, that with no better implement than a knife, you may dig up bags full of medals, and vases, wherever you please.
So it is asserted of Asia Minor - that "Anatolia, covered as it is, we might say having its soil impregnated with the precious remains of antiquity, cannot be traversed in any direction, and described by even the most casual observer, without furnishing much to attract the regards of the rest of the world."
