In the following account of the Palace of Constantinople, the Hippodrome, and the neighboring Augustaion, I often recall the difficulties of the task. Students of the Palace as it is presented in the latest works of Greek and Western writers, can form some idea of the confused nature of the subject, which, indeed, none admit more frequently than the writers themselves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
