[Footnote 90: Gulielm. Appulus, l. v. p. 276.) The
admirable port of Brundusium was double; the outward harbor
was a gulf covered by an island, and narrowing by degrees,
till it communicated by a small gullet with the inner
harbor, which embraced the city on both sides. Caesar and
nature have labored for its ruin; and against such agents
what are the feeble efforts of the Neapolitan government?
