Общее число зарегистрированных эмигрантов за двадцать один год с 1825 по 1845 включительно 1 349 476 — Среднее значение 64 260. То же за пять лет с 1846 по 1850 включительно 1 216 557 — Среднее значение 243 311.

[7] Мы приводим эту сумму, как она обычно оценивается, хотя она, безусловно, намного ниже истины.

[10] На левиафанах-пароходах, которые сейчас строятся для компании «Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company». Они рассчитаны на скорость от шестнадцати до восемнадцати миль в час, что сократило бы морскую часть путешествия до восьми дней и двух часов.

[11] Чисто физическое удовольствие от верхнего плавания было описано так: «Никакие слова не могут передать идею красоты и восхитительности тропической погоды, по крайней мере, пока дует хоть какой-то бриз с севера. Есть удовольствие в самом акте дыхания — сладострастное осознание того, что существование — это благословенная вещь: пульс бьется сильно, но спокойно; глаз чувствует расширение; грудь вздымается с удовольствием, как будто воздух был восхитительным глотком для жаждущих легких; и разум принимает свою окраску и характер от ощущения. Никакая мысль о меланхолии никогда не омрачает нас — никакого болезненного чувства изоляции или одиночества, пока день за днем мы проходим через безмолвные пустыни, по безмолвной и торжественной реке. Человек как бы переносится в другое состояние существования; и все раздоры и борьбы того, из которого мы вышли, кажутся исчезающими, смягченными до неясности. Это то, что Гомер и Альфред Теннисон знали, что чувствовали лотофаги, когда они вкушали таинственное дерево этой страны и уставали от своих странствий:—

'——To him the gushing of the wave

Far, far away, did seem to mourn and rave

On alien shores: and, if his fellow spake,

His voice was thin, as voices from the grave!

And deep asleep he seemed, yet all awake,

And music in his ears his beating heart did make.'

Если день со всей тиранией своего солнечного света и бесчисленными насекомыми приятен в тропиках, то ночь еще более приятна. Звезды сияют с алмазным блеском и кажутся такими большими, как если бы их видели через телескоп. Их меняющиеся цвета, след света, который они отбрасывают на воду, отчетливость млечного пути и великолепие, прежде всего, вечерней звезды, дают ощущение пребывания под другим небосводом, чем тот, к которому мы привыкли; затем прохладные восхитительные потоки воздуха со всеми странными и тихими звуками, которые они несут из пустыни и леса; нежные ароматы, которые они рассеивают, и томные дыхания, с которыми они заставляют наши большие белые паруса казаться задыхающимися, когда они мягко вздымаются и томятся над водой». — («Полумесяц и крест», том i, стр. 210.)

[12] Путешествие из Каира через пустыню через Суэц, или, по крайней мере, оттуда через Газу или Синай в Иерусалим, совершается таким же образом, как это было в дни, когда его описывали «Эотен», доктор Робинсон и лорд Каслри. Единственная разница заключается в маршруте между Каиром и Суэцем, который теперь преодолевается на колесах примерно за двенадцать часов, и в течение восемнадцати месяцев ожидается, что он будет легко преодолеваться за два с половиной часа по железной дороге.

[13] Кейф: слово, которое трудно перевести, но оно выражает полное погружение в покой; dolce far niente, которого могут полностью достичь только восточные люди.

[14] Мусульмане, будучи водопийцами, так же любопытны к своим потокам, как бонвиваны к своим погребам. Один из халифов приказал взвесить всю воду в своем обширном королевстве и обнаружил, что вода Евфрата — самая легкая.

[15] Впоследствии он был убит, 62 г. н. э.

[16] Мы должны здесь отметить великодушие, с которым мистер Уолпол воздерживается от распространения на любую тему, в которой он мог бы предвосхитить работы других путешественников. По этой причине он легко проходит мимо этого интересного тура в горах Курдистана и лишь (к нашему сожалению) упоминает en passant о племени пастухов-евреев, которых он и мистер Лэйард встретили в этих горах, следуя за весной (по мере того, как отступающие снега оставляли свежую траву для их стад) вверх по горам. Когда мы рассматриваем, как редко встречаются пастухи-евреи, и что это была та самая земля, где исчезли потерянные десять колен, и, более того, что старейшины этих людей говорили на халдейском языке, мы очень разочарованы, не услышав о них больше.

[17] Тайна, относящаяся к этому сообществу, настолько велика, что трудолюбивый Мюллер в своих двадцати четырех книгах не пытался проникнуть в нее. А Гиббон, несмотря на свое признанное удовольствие в описании сцен крови, рассматривал Орден Ассасинов очень поверхностно. Марко Поло, как обычно, самый интересный из авторитетов, насколько он заходит; но Джозефу фон Хаммеру предстояло исследовать слабые следы их странной истории с огромным и терпеливым исследованием. Он собрал результаты своих трудов в небольшом томе, представляющем большой интерес.
