First sentence: IF the reader will take any map of Syria which has some pretensions to accuracy, and will look at the sea-coast, he will find in the parallel of latitude 35° 30' the town of Ladikeeh, the Laodicea of Seleucus Nicator, now known through the tobacco exported from it; which tobacco is grown in the neighbouring mountains.
