Catalogue Note
As stated on the title, this work is a supplement to Leake's Travels in the Morea, 3 volumes, 1830 (see lot 122). "This is a true supplement, with additional information organized according to the sections in Leake's earlier three-volume work" (Contominas), and indeed the errata leaf in this volume relates to errors in that work.
