Description:The adventurous and unconventional Lady Hester Stanhope (1776-1839) set off to travel to the East in the early nineteenth century.

Her personal physician Charles Meryon (1783-1877) wrote this three-volume memoir of their travels, first published in 1846.

Eventually she settled in the Lebanon, where she lived out the remainder of her life.

It concludes with the party's arrival in Damascus, where Lady Hester dressed in men's clothing and refused to wear a veil.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
