Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Travels of Lady Hester Stanhope, Vol. 1 of 3: Forming the Completion of Her Memoirs
A distinct line may at once be drawn between this and other books of peregrinations in the East. The reader will here find no antiquarian research, no new views of the political relations of sects and parties: but these Travels exhibit what others do not a heroine who marches at the head of Arab tribes through the Syrian desert who calls governors of cities to her aid, whilst she excavates the earth in search of hidden treasures who sends generals with their troops to carry fire and sword into the fearful passes of a mountainous country.
