Description
Excerpt from Diary in Turkish and Greek Waters, 1855
IT will be perceived that I have resolved the doubt, expressed in the opening sentences of this Diary, in favour of publication. I have most assuredly not been led to this decision by any presumption that the hurried entries which it contains, written almost Without exception on the days to which they refer, can be supposed to include sufficient matter worthy of being directly addressed either to the* scholar, the antiquary, the artist, the politician, or the divine; but I have thought it possible, considering the places which I have visited, and the periods of my visit, that they might awaken or recall associations, among each of these classes, which they will have derived from less shallow sources.
