Castellan went out to the Levant as a draughtsman in 1796 with a French engineering mission led by Pierre Ferregau, who hoped to be awarded a contract for building new docks. Although the mission was cut short, Castellan used the opportunity to make notes and drawings. 'He has produced a very interesting book, extremely pro-Greek, with long digressions on politics and folklore' (Blackmer). The plates include a folding plan of Constantinople, as well as its environs, and plates of Gallipoli.

First edition, 2 parts in 1 volume, 8vo, [2], 171, [1]; [4], 235, [1] pp., 22 engraved plates and plans (some folding), contemporary tree calf gilt, lightly rubbed, spine head and corners worn, a very good copy.

Atabey 206; Blackmer 299; not located in Koç.
