Levant.- Hobhouse (John Cam, 1st Baron Broughton) A Journey through Albania and other provinces of Turkey in Europe and Asia, to Constantinople, first edition, engraved frontispiece, 17 hand-coloured aquatints (7 double-page), 2 folding maps, one with short splits to foldlines, one plan, 2 facsimiles, 2 plates of sheet music, E1 with short marginal tear, occasional marginal water-staining, scattered spotting, ex-library with neat blind-stamp to title, later half plum morocco, sunned spine, Nottingham Library blind-stamp to upper cover, fractional bumping to corners and extremities, [Blackmer 821], 4to, 1813.

⁂ "Hobhouse was an intimate friend of Byron, with whom he made the journey described in this book. He returned to England in 1810 and became involved in politics on the liberal platform. In 1823 he became active in support of the London Greek Committee and may have played some part in Byron's decision to return to Greece." (Blackmer)
