"The work consists of 35 letters addressed mainly to his brother Jean Poujoulat and to Joseph Michaud who together had produced the Correspondance d'Orient [É] Baptistin envisaged his work as a sort of continuation. The letters to Michaud begin from Athens in 1836Ê; those to his brother are dated from Aleppo beginning in october, 1837. The last letter, dated from lower Egypt, is followed by a summary of events in Syria from 1838 to 1841. The letters describe mainly Asia Minor and Syria and include accounts of the Kurdish-Turkish wars and a long description of Palmyra. Poujoulat is a very interesting and penetrating observer, and his work is a worthy successor to the well-known Correspondance d'Orient" (Leonora Navari, catalogue Blackmer, n¡ 1340).
