Henry Fanshawe Tozer (1829-1916) was a British writer, teacher and traveller who journeyed much in Greece and the Ottoman Empire. He graduated from Exeter College in Oxford in 1850 and was later (1869-1893) curator of the Taylor Institution there. He was a fellow of the British Academy and a corresponding member of the Historical Society of Greece. Tozer is the author, in particular, of the two-volume travel book “Researches in the Highlands of Turkey, Including Visits to Mounts Ida, Athos, Olympus, and Pelion, to the Mirdite Albanians, and Other Remote Tribes” (London 1869), which contains a detailed account of his journey through Albania in 1865.
