Excerpt from The History of Greece, Vol. 1
WE speak of Europe and Asia, and involuntarily allow these terms to suggest to us two distinct quarters of the globe, separated from one another by natural boundaries. But where are these boundaries? Possibly a frontier-line may be found in the north, where the Ural Mountains cut through the broad complexes of land; but to the south of the Pontus nature has nowhere severed east from west, but rather done her utmost closely and inseparably to unite them. The same mountain-ranges Which pass across the Archipelago extend on dense successions of islands over the Propontis: the coast-lands on either side belong to one another as if they were two halves of one country and harbors such as Thessalonica and Athens have from the first been incomparably nearer to the coast-towns of Ionia than to their own interior, While from the western shores of their own continent they are still farther sepa rated by broad tracts of land and by the difficulties of a. Lengthy sea-voyage.
