""A Tour to the East, in the Years 1763 and 1764: With Remarks on the City of Constantinople and the Turks"" is a travelogue written by Frederick Calvert, the sixth Lord Baltimore. The book was originally published in 1767 and chronicles Calvert's journey through the Ottoman Empire, including visits to Egypt, Palestine, and Syria, as well as his observations on the city of Constantinople and the customs and traditions of the Turkish people. Calvert provides detailed descriptions of the places he visited, including the architecture, landscape, and local customs, and offers insights into the political and social climate of the Ottoman Empire at the time.
