On my visit to Asia Minor in 1838, of which I gave an account in my former Journal, I found that the district of ancient Lycia was so rich in all that is most interesting to the traveller, that, my time then allowing of only a short excursion into it, 1could not but feel a strong desire to return at a future day, and explore it more carefully. This desire was increased when, on reaching England, I learned how completely unknown this country is to modern travellers, and how much importance the learned attached to many of my discoveries. On my second visit therefore to Asia Minor, in 1840 (the account of which is given in the Journal now published) ,I determined to turn my steps at once to Lycia; and I have, as will be seen from the line of my route on the map, traversed it in several directions.
