Note 2 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
Signor Della Cella has remarked (p. 185,) that there are a few palm-trees in the neighbourhood of Bengazi, and a tract or two of land sowed with barley (“alcune palme, e qualche tratto seminato col orzo”—) all the rest is (he tells us) neglected and uncultivated. But there are a great many palm-trees in the neighbourhood of Bengazi, on both sides of the harbour, and a great proportion of cultivated land.
