TRAVELS IN EUROPE, ASIA MINOR AND ARABIA

GRIFFITHS, J., M.D.

London, 1805

Griffiths travelled out to Constantinople with the philosopher and social reformer Jeremy Bentham in 1785, before going on to travel in the Levant disguised as a Greek. He was joined on his journey by David Hays who died on the journey, and this event is depicted in a folding plate. Griffiths records his travels through Constantinople, Scutari, Mytelene, Chios, Smyrna, Aleppo, Basrah, and down the Persian Gulf to Muscat.
