0.0

This classic memoir, originally published in 1827, follows George Thomas Keppel (1799-1821), who became the 6th Earl of Albemarle in 1851, and was an aide-de-camp to the British governor general in India from 1821 to 1823, when he was given leave to return home overland. Along the way he visited the ruins of Babylon and the court of Teheran, Persia; and he passed through numerous little-known areas of Turkey and Russia.
