Robert Walpole (1781 1856), great-nephew and namesake of Britain's
first prime minister, was a classical scholar and clergyman. After
graduating from Trinity College, Cambridge, he visited Greece and
the Middle East. In 1817 he published Memoirs Relating to European
and Asiatic Turkey (also reissued in this series), extracts from
the unpublished papers of various travellers and antiquaries, and
it was so well received that he produced this continuation in 1820.
It consists of extracts from the unpublished papers of, among
others, W. M. Leake and John Sibthorp, with descriptions of
antiquities, and notes by the editor. The topics covered vary
considerably and reflect the wide interests of contemporary
educated gentlemen: they include travel journals, observations on
natural history, inscriptions from Egyptian monuments discovered by
Belzoni, and C. R. Cockerell's views on the Labyrinth of Minos. The
book remains a rich source for scholars from a wide range of
disciplines.

its second edition in 1818, consists of extracts from the
unpublished papers of J. B. S. Morritt, John Sibthorp, Philip Hunt,
J. D. Carlyle and other travellers, with descriptions of
antiquities, and notes by the editor. The topics vary considerably
and reflect the wide interests of contemporary educated and
travelled men at a time when many were extending their Grand Tour
to the Eastern Mediterranean. They include discussions of the
weakness of the Turkish government, observations on natural
history, accounts of Greek Orthodox monastic libraries including
those of Mount Athos, and descriptions of Greek pottery and
archaeological excavations. The book remains a rich source for
scholars from a wide range of disciplines.
