After qualifying as a physician, Robert Richardson (1779 1847)
joined the household of the earl of Belmore, and accompanied him
and his family on a tour of the eastern Mediterranean in his yacht
the Osprey, converted from a captured American schooner. Richardson
dedicated this two-volume work to his patron in 1822. Having spent
several months in Naples, the party travelled through the Greek
islands to Constantinople, arriving in Alexandria in September
1817. Volume 2 describes further exploration in Egypt, before the
party travelled into Palestine, where they visited Jerusalem and
the Holy Places, and the cities of the Old Testament, continuing
through Syria and Lebanon. Their intention of revisiting Greece on
their return was thwarted by reports of the plague, and they
arrived back in Malta in July 1818. Richardson's account is full of
detail, both of the archaeological remains and of everyday life in
the Middle East."
