A brief but distinctive account, first published in 1835, of a winter expedition to a then little-visited volcanic area in Apulia, south-east Italy. The author, the Oxford professor Charles Daubeny (1795–1867), was a pioneer of volcanology and a fine observer of both scientific and cultural detail.
