Includes Greece, Albania, Macedonia, Bosnia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Rumania, and Moldova. Offers considerable detail with political divisions and color coding at the regional level. Identifies cities, towns, castles, important battle sites, castles, swamps, mountains and river ways. Title plate in the lower left quadrant. Two mile scales, in Turkish Miles and British Statute Miles, also appear in the lower left quadrant. Drawn by L. Herbert and engraved by Samuel Neele under the direction of John Pinkerton.
