Blackmer 1762 [citing the first edition]: “A second edition with some new material appeared in 1818. Walpole, grandson of Horatio Walpole, had travelled in Greece for some time between 1803 and 1808. His plan to publish his own journals and notes together with those of like-minded people resulted in this important work which contains important information which appeared nowhere else.”
