Scarce privately printed account of the author's travels through the region at the time of the Russo-Turkish War. The section on Greece includes information on the principal figures of the Revolution. Alcock, a Liberal Member of Parliament, was unimpressed by Constantinople, but offers a vivid account of one of the many conflagrations in the city, and the efficient work of the French Navy to pull down houses in the path of the fire with cables.
