Synopsis
Excerpt from A Journal Written During an Excursion in Asia Minor, 1839
Since my return to England from the Tour in Asia Minor which forms the subject of the following Journal, I have been informed at the Royal Geographical Society that parts of my route which lay through the Interior and Southern district of the country, and led me to the remains of important ancient cities, had not before been traversed by any European and it is on this account alone that I am induced to lay my Journal before the Public.
