This dataset is the digitised version of four chapters (11, 13, 20, 21) of William Leake's book 'Travels in Northern Greece' (vol. 2). It consists of narrative text (chapters), subject index, list of images, a map of Greece, biographical and editorial notes. The aim of this dataset was to create an electronic edition on the Internet of a selection of the works of William Martin Leake (1777-1860). Two students of the postgraduate course 'Historical Information Processing' (ESF/DABURH) of Leiden University have created this dataset.
