"At Cambridge Hobhouse founded a Whig club and became the close friend of Byron, with whom in 1809 he travelled across Portugal and Spain to Gibraltar. From Malta he and Byron were encouraged by English naval and diplomatic intelligence to travel into Albania ... On returning Hobhouse published ... his account of their eastern tour, 'A Journey through Albania, and other Provinces of Turkey'"--Cf. DNB.
