"In 1746 the young Lord Charlemont, with his tutor, Edward Murphy, set out from Dublin on his Grand Tour. In 1749 he chartered a ship and crew to sail to Constantinople, the Greek Islands, Egypt, Asia Minor and Greece. A voyage undertaken in the spirit of adventure resulted in the discovery of the lost city of Helicarnassus and the Friezes from the Mausoleum at Bodrum."--Jacket
