ALSO SELECT PIECES OF ORIENTAL WIT, POETRY AND WISDOM. Octavo (4-1/4" x 7") bound in contemporary calf recently rebacked with a new calf spine with gilt lettering and decorations; [1l], iv, 176 pages. Illustrated with an engraved title page, four full-page engravings, and one very large (19-1/2" x 17-1/2") folding plan of Constantinople. One of the engravings is of Whirling Dervishes in action. Baltimore's travels took him from Italy through Greece to Constantinople in 1763. The following year took him through Bulgaria, Moldavia, Poland, and Germany until he eventually arrived in England. The author was the last in the line of Barons Baltimore and a descendent of the man after whom the city in Maryland is named. In fact, though he never once set foot in it, Calvert owned Maryland until his death in Naples in 1771. He willed the colony to a son, but the American Revolution got in the way. His depictions into the life and customs of the lands he traversed are vivid, just what one would expect from someone kicked out of Constantinople after being accused of keeping a private harem. Public library bookplate on front pastedown, library ink stamp on title page, and three occasions of ink numbers in the text.
