Blackmer 1193: “This very interesting work describes Newton’s activities in the Levant from 1852 to 1859. The text is in the form of letters and begins with Newton’s appointment as vice-consul at Mitylene in February 1852… Newton also spent several months at Rhodes as acting consul and in 1854-5 he carried out excavations at Kalymnos. In 1856 he began a series of expeditions to the coast of Asia Minor which resulted in the excavations of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.”
