Note 3 — Chapter I
Reading edition
The mode in which we ascertained these measurements was by comparing four, independently made. One was by Mr. Weller, the artist of our maps; the second by the author, being the average of four or five maps; the third by an English official friend in Roumania, who has all the best maps at his disposal; and the fourth from Baedeker. Designating these respectively as a, b, c, and d, we obtained the following very approximate results:—
From Verciorova to the Sulina mouth. From Predeal to boundary S. of Mangalia.
a 355 miles a 185 miles
b 356 " b 188 "
c 358 " c 189 "
d 360 " d 190 "
From Fife-Cookson's map, in his work With the Armies of the Balkans, the measurements respectively are 355 and 186 miles.
