'This is the concluding portion of Chesney's account of the Euphrates Expedition, not a later edition of the first part. In addition to the reconstructed section of Chesney's original manuscript which had been lost in the 1830's, it contains the journals of Captain Charlewood and of General J.B.B. Estcourt, an account of Helfer's visit to the Arabian desert, and Ainsworth's account of Constantinople' (Atabey). Scarce.
