		THE Troad, or the land of Troy, the northwestern promontory of Asia Minor.
		Ida is the key to the physical geography of the whole region; and it is the peculiar character which this mountainsystem imparts to the land west of it that constitutes the real distinctness of the Troad from the rest of Mysia.
		Nature has here provided Asia Minor with an outwork against invaders from the northwest; and as the Troad was the scene of the struggle between Agamemnon and Priam, so it was in the Troad that Alexander won the battle which opened a path for his further advance.

		The emperor Justinian was born near the ruins of Sardica, (the modern Sophia,) of an obscure race of Barbarians, the inhabitants of a wild and desolate country, to which the names of Dardania, of Dacia, and of Bulgaria, have been successively applied.
