This scarce booklet - OCLC records only five library copies - opens with the justification “A few lines on Scutari and its objects of interest may at the present time prove acceptable, particularly as the proceeds of this little work are to be given to the Sick and Wounded, now in our Hospitals in the East”. The references are to the Crimean War, and more specifically to the work of Florence Nightingale among the wounded, and the book devotes a chapter to her work at Scutari. The portrait frontispiece shows a woman reading a letter bearing the address “Miss Nightingale Scutari” - possibly a letter from her, or to her. The book also has a chapter on the Scutari cemetery.
