C. T. Newton (1816 1894) was a British archaeologist whose great
interest was in Greek and Roman artefacts. He studied at Christ
Church, Oxford, before joining the British Museum as an assistant
in the Antiquities Department. Newton left the Museum in 1852 to
explore the coasts and islands of Asia Minor, returning in 1861 as
Keeper of the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities. First
published in 1865, these volumes contain an account of his travels
and archaeological investigations around the Aegean and the coast
of Turkey between 1852 and 1859. Using a series of letters written
during his travels, Newton describes his archaeological discoveries
together with valuable observations on contemporary Greek and
Turkish culture. He also provides an account of his excavation of
the tomb of Mausolus of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of
the ancient world. Volume 2 describes his discovery and excavation
of this legendary building.
