City: Naples, in Italian Napoli, seems, at first sight, to be universally considered as the most captivating City of Italy ; owing to its immense number of inhabitants, magnificent quay, and beautiful situation : this first impression, however, sometimes wears off ; insomuch that scientific Travellers frequently prefer the splendid architecture and solemn grandeur of Rome to all the animating gaiety of Naples.

This City is built on the acclivity of a tufo mountain, at the brink of a Bay near thirty miles in diameter (called, by the ancients, Crater Sinus,) and sheltered on the right by the Promontory of Miseno, and on the left by that of Sorrento : while the lofty Island of Capri, rising in.  Nothing can be more magnificent than 'the City of Naples when viewed from this Bay, when all its buildings present themselves to view, rising in the form of an amphitheatre, till crowned by the sombre castle of S. Elmo. Stretching to the Promontory of Sorrento, on one side, lie Portici, Resina, Torre del Greco, Torre del Annunziata, Vesuvius, Pompeii, Castellammare, and Vico; and extending to the Promontory of Miseno, on the other, Pozzuoli, Nisida, and Baia.
