Company with the late Lord Byron; including a Life of Ali
Pasha, and illustrated by Views of Athens, Constantinople, and various
other Plates, Maps, &c. By JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE, Esq. M.P. Second Edition,
with Corrections. 2 vols. 4to. 5l. 5s. boards.
"Both the general reader and the scholar may look for no small
portion of information and amusement from the present volume. The
work itself will have a standard place in all Collections of
Voyages and Travels; a place which it will fully merit, by the
industry and ardour of research conspicuous throughout, as well as
by the spirit vivacity and good sense of the general
narrative."--_Quarterly Review_, XIX.
"The narrative which he has produced bears unquestionable marks of
a curious, capacious and observant mind; and the same may be said
of the poetical production of his friend Lord Byron, who
accompanied him on his Travels. As Reviewers are sometimes charged
with a propensity to cavilling, we will not close these
introductory remarks without declaring in round terms in justice to
Mr. Hobhouse, and in vindication of ourselves, that we have
received as much pleasure and instruction from the perusal of these
Travels as from that of any others which have ever come before us,"
&c. &c.--_British Review_, No. IX.

"Wright?[58] 'twas thy happy lot at once to view
Those shores of glory, and to sing them too;

To hail the land of gods and godlike men."

Ionicae, and is descriptive of the Isles and the adjacent Coast of
