Synopsis

The first edition of this work appeared in 1744. A second edition appeared in 1752. In 1754 the work appeared in two volumes under the above title. The views of Rome, Paris and Jerusalem are particularly interesting. Nothing is known of either the so-called author or editor. It has been suggested that this is a fictional voyage similar to Guillet’s. Certainly it was a very popular account, having gone through five editions. The maps are after E. Bowen.
