“First and apparently only edition. Trant’s journey was begun in October, 1829. He travelled extensively through Greece and made his way to Constantinople. There is also a lively and very interesting description of Greek social life. The plates illustrate Karitena, Mega Spilion, Mistra, Bassae and Argos. He spent some time in Ava, the capital of Burma, and produced an account of it in 1827.” Blackmer, 1671
