Tweddell remains affair
The Tweddell remains affair was a British scandal that came to a head in the years 1815–7. It was a controversy over the papers, paintings and other possessions of John Tweddell, a young barrister and scholar who had died in 1799 in Athens. It was conducted mostly by publications in periodicals and a book by Robert Tweddell, who directed animus for the apparent neglect of the remains at Lord Elgin. William St Clair calls the affair a "first-class scandal". In the background, the Levant Company had felt that their monopoly on trade around the Aegean Sea had been threatened by Elgin as ambassador in Constantinople, and wished to undermine further such appointments.
==Background==
During his travels Tweddell sent home a series of letters. Much of his time was occupied in keeping detailed journals; a large part of them was deposited at Pera, Constantinople with Thomas Thornton, as bulky. Tweddell engaged Michel-François Préaulx, a French artist whom he met at Constantinople, to travel with him in Greece, and to assist him in copying architectural detail in Athens;〔 he also drew for Tweddell on Mount Athos.〔F. W. Hasluck, ''Topographical Drawings in the British Museum Illustrating Classical Sites and Remains in Greece and Turkey'', The Annual of the British School at Athens Vol. 18, (1911/1912), pp. 270–281, at pp.277–8. Published by: British School at Athens.

Legrand, ''Biographie Louis-François-Sébastien Fauvel antiquaire et consul'' (1753–1838) (Suite), Revue Archéologique Troisième Série, T. 30, (Janvier-Juin 1897), pp. 185–201 at pp. 194–5. Published by: Presses Universitaires de France. Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/41730909〕 These were deposited with Procopio Macri (Prokopios Makris), who acted as consul in Athens for the Levant Company.
After Tweddell's death Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin, arriving at Constantinople as ambassador, ordered Tweddell's collections to be sent to him.〔
