E. H. Bunbury's two volume History of Ancient Geography among the Greeks and Romans (1883), is now available as .pdf downloads from our website: Volume I [32.5 MB]; Volume II (Strabo and others) [28 MB]. This important work contains a great deal more than information on geography, and makes an invaluable accompaniment to the historical sources.
