Three volumes containing notes taken in Athens in March and April, 1890, and a journal of a tour in the Peloponnese and Central Greece from 21 April to 24 May, 1890. In the journal, Frazer makes frequent references to Baedeker and to Pausanias.
The first volume contains 52 pp. of notes made on statuary, architecture, and pottery while visiting the Central Museum in Athens, and from J. H. Middleton's notes on the Acropolis in Athens and on 'Temple Management'. This is followed by the start of the tour journal (126 pp.) dating from 21 April to 9 May, in which he travels via steamer from Piraeus to Nauplia, and from there on horseback with his dragoman Weal, to Tsipiana (now Nestani), to Mantinea, Tripolitza, Arachova, and Sparta, where he makes notes from the museum at Sparta and meets [Robert Weir] Schultz and [Sidney Howard] Barnsley. From Sparta he travels through the Langada gorge to Lada, where he meets Aksel Andersson and Henrik Schück, who are interested in folklore; to Mt. Ithome and Mt. Eva, and to Phigalia, where he describes the cave of the Black or Phigalian Demeter; to the temple [of Apollo] in Bassae; to Megalopolis, where he meets archaeologists [William] Loring, [William John] Woodhouse, and [R. A. H.] Bickford-Smith; to Andritsaena and Krestana and to Olympia, where he makes extensive notes. The volume contains two pen-and-ink sketch maps of Sparta, one of Thebes, and pencil sketches of temples, gates, and objects.
The second volume consists of 35 pp., reconstructing his diary of May 10-16, after he lost his notebook at Chaeronea on the 17th. It describes a tour from Olympia to St. Luke's monastery, to Dhivri, the monastery of Hagia Lavra at Anastásova, to Megaspeleon, to Aegion, to Delphi, where he makes extensive notes, to Arachova, and St. Luke's monastery.
The third volume consists of 31 pp. of his tour from May 17-24, in which he travels from St. Luke's to Chaeronea, to Livadia, Thespiae, Plataea, Thebes, Eleutherae and Eleusis to Athens. Once at Athens, he makes notes of an excursion to Oropus and Mt Helicon with [Arthur George] Bather, and a trip to the monastery of Mendeli on Mt Pentelicus, and walking back to Athens, arriving before Bather, who took the train.
