I won&#8217;t trouble you with a relation of our tedious journey; but must not omit what I saw remarkable at Sophia, one of the most beautiful towns in the Turkish empire, and famous for its hot baths, that are resorted to both for diversion and health. I stopped here one day, on purpose to see them; and, designing to go&nbsp;<em>incognito<\/em>, I hired a Turkish coach. These voitures are not at all like ours, but much more convenient for the country, the heat being so great, that glasses would be very troublesome. They are made a good deal in the manner of the Dutch stage-coaches, having wooden lattices painted and gilded; the inside being also painted with baskets and nosegays of flowers, intermixed commonly with little poetical mottos. They are covered all over with scarlet cloth, lined with silk, and very often richly embroidered and fringed. This covering entirely hides the persons in them, but may be thrown back at pleasure, and thus permits the ladies to peep through the lattices. They hold four people very conveniently, seated on cushions, but not raised.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8056\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/1024px-jean-etienne_liotard_-_a_lady_in_turkish_dress_and_her_servant_-_google_art_project\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Jean-Etienne_Liotard_-_A_Lady_in_Turkish_Dress_and_Her_Servant_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg?fit=1024%2C1311&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,1311\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1024px-Jean-Etienne_Liotard_-_A_Lady_in_Turkish_Dress_and_Her_Servant_-_Google_Art_Project\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Jean-Etienne_Liotard_-_A_Lady_in_Turkish_Dress_and_Her_Servant_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg?fit=525%2C672&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Jean-Etienne_Liotard_-_A_Lady_in_Turkish_Dress_and_Her_Servant_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg?resize=525%2C672&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8056\" width=\"525\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Jean-Etienne_Liotard_-_A_Lady_in_Turkish_Dress_and_Her_Servant_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg?resize=800%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Jean-Etienne_Liotard_-_A_Lady_in_Turkish_Dress_and_Her_Servant_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg?resize=500%2C640&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Jean-Etienne_Liotard_-_A_Lady_in_Turkish_Dress_and_Her_Servant_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg?resize=768%2C983&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Jean-Etienne_Liotard_-_A_Lady_in_Turkish_Dress_and_Her_Servant_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jean-Etienne Liotard &#8211; A Lady in Turkish Dress and Her Servant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p id=\"id00155\">In one of these covered waggons, I went to the bagnio about ten o&#8217;clock. It was already full of women. It is built of stone, in the shape of a dome, with no windows but in the roof, which gives light enough. There were five of these domes joined together, the outmost being less than the rest, and serving only as a hall, where the portress stood at the door. Ladies of quality generally give this woman a crown or ten shillings; and I did not forget that ceremony. The next room is a very large one paved with marble, and all round it are two raised sofas of marble, one above another. There were four fountains of cold water in this room, falling first into marble basons, and then running on the floor in little channels made for that purpose, which carried the streams into the next room, something less than this, with the same sort of marble sofas, but so hot with steams of sulphur proceeding from the baths joining to it, &#8217;twas impossible to stay there with one&#8217;s cloaths on. The two other domes were the hot baths, one of which had cocks of cold water turning into it, to temper it to what degree of warmth the bathers pleased to have.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"519\" data-attachment-id=\"8055\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/1024px-dominique_ingres_-_the_turkish_bath_1862\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Dominique_Ingres_-_The_Turkish_Bath_1862.jpg?fit=1024%2C1012&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,1012\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Public domain&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1024px-Dominique_Ingres_-_The_Turkish_Bath_(1862)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Dominique_Ingres_-_The_Turkish_Bath_1862.jpg?fit=525%2C519&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Dominique_Ingres_-_The_Turkish_Bath_1862.jpg?resize=525%2C519&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Dominique_Ingres_-_The_Turkish_Bath_1862.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Dominique_Ingres_-_The_Turkish_Bath_1862.jpg?resize=500%2C494&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Dominique_Ingres_-_The_Turkish_Bath_1862.jpg?resize=768%2C759&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Dominique_Ingres_-_The_Turkish_Bath_1862.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1024px-Dominique_Ingres_-_The_Turkish_Bath_1862.jpg?resize=120%2C120&amp;ssl=1 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres &#8211; The Turkish Bath&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q2027662#P1476\"><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p id=\"id00156\">I was in my travelling habit, which is a riding dress, and certainly appeared very extraordinary to them.
