Travels in Greece and Turkey. Being the Second Part of Excursions in the Mediterranean. London: Saunders and Otley, 1836

FIRST EDITION, 2 volumes bound in one, 8vo (184 x 114mm.), hand-coloured frontispieces in both volumes, half-title to volume 2 only, lacking advertisements at end, contemporary half calf over marbled boards, spine gilt with raised bands in 5 compartments, red morocco label to second compartment, sprinkled edges, slight transfer from frontispiece to title, joints becoming weak with upper joint starting to split, extremities slightly rubbed

The first edition of this work is surprisingly rare at auction. The major collections noted below - Blackmer, Gennadius and Abbey - only contained the second edition. This is the second part of the author's Excursions in the Mediterranean. The first part, published in 1835, recounted a visit to Algiers and Tunis.
