Subject
The correspondence Byron wrote and some of which he received during the tour.
Description
Byron to Hobhouse 1810-08-23. In 1658, a French Capuchin monastery was founded by the site; in 1669 the monastery succeeded in purchasing the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, then being called the "Lantern of Demosthenes" after the famous Athenian statesman of the 4th century BCE. A reading of its inscription by Jacob Spon established its original purpose. Wiki
