Scarce. A versatile and hardy traveller, Tozer (1829-1916) made regular journeys in Greece and Turkey, which formed the subject of this, his major travel book in which he describes two arduous journeys from Constantinople to Salonika (taking in Mount Athos, which he climbed) across the Scardus and Bertiscus ranges, then further north into Montenegro and across the Mirdita country of central Albania.
