[10], xiii, [3], 395; 358, [6] pp. 8vo. Leather spine, gilt titles and rules, black and red leather spine labels, marbled paper over boards. A tour of Italy and Sicily, written partly as a response to the 1813 work of John Chetwode Eustace. Hoare was an archaeologist and artist, and made a continental tour in 1788 on which this work is based. He also wrote several works on English history. Arguably his most notable accomplishment was performing the first recorded excavation of Stonehenge along with William Cunnington.
