Sm. 8vo, S.D. [1821].

22. KLAPROTH, JULIUS.

A variety of most interesting articles in the Journal Asiatique (see ser. I. tom. iv., tom. ix.; ser. II. tom. i. tom. xi. etc.), and in his Memoires Relatifs a l'Asie. Paris, 1824.

Klaproth speaks more than once as if he had a complete Commentary on Marco Polo prepared or in preparation (e.g., see J. As., ser. i. tom. iv. p. 380). But the examination of his papers after his death produced little or nothing of this kind. - [Cf. supra, p. 573.]

23. CICOGNA, EMMANUELE ANTONIO. Delle Iscrizioni Veneziane, Raccolte ed Illustrate. Venezia, 1824-1843.

Contains valuable notices regarding the Polo family, especially in vol. ii.

24. REMUSAT, JEAN PIERRE ABEL. Melanges Asiatiques. Paris, 1825. Nouveaux Melanges As. Paris, 1829.

The latter contains (i. 381 seqq.) an article on Marsden's Marco Polo, and one (p. 397 seqq.) upon Zurla's Book.

25. ANTOLOGIA, edited by VIEUSSIEUX. Tom. xix. B. pp. 92-124. Firenze, 1825.

A review of the publication of the old French Text by the Soc. de Geographie.

26. ANNALI UNIVERSALI DI STATISTICA. Vol. xvi. p. 286. Milano. 1828. Article by F. CUSTODI.

27. WALCKENAER, Baron C. Vies de plusieurs Personnages Celebres des temps anciens et modernes. Laon, 1830, 2 vol. 8vo.

This contains a life of Marco Polo, vol. ii. pp. 1-34.

28. ST. JOHN, JAMES AUGUSTUS. Lives of Celebrated Travellers. London (circa 1831).

Contains a life of Marco Polo, which I regret not to have seen.

29. COOLEY, W.D. Hist. of Maritime and Inland Discovery. London, (circa 1831).

This excellent work contains a good chapter on Marco Polo.

30. RITTER, CARL. Die Erdkunde von Asien. Berlin, 1832, seqq.

This great work abounds with judicious comments on Polo's Geography, most of which have been embodied in Buerck's edition.

33. MALTE-BRUN. Precis de la Geog. Universelle, 4th Ed. par HUOT. Paris, 1836.

Vol. i. (pp. 551 seqq.) contains a section on Polo, neither good nor correct.

34. DE MONTEMONT, ALBERT. Bibliotheque Universelle des voyages.

In vol. xxxi. pp. 33-51 there is a Notice of Marco Polo.

35. PALGRAVE, Sir FRANCIS. The Merchant and the Friar. London, 1837.

The Merchant is Marco Polo, who is supposed to visit England, after his return from the East, and to become acquainted with the Friar Roger Bacon. The book consists chiefly of their conversations on many subjects.

It does not affect the merits of this interesting book that Bacon is believed to have died in 1292, some years before Marco's return from the East.

36. D'AVEZAC, M. Remarks in his most valuable Notice sur les Anciens Voyages de Tartarie, &c., in the Recueil de Voyages et de Memoires publie par la Societe de Geographie, tom. iv. pp. 407 seqq.

39. QUATREMERE, ETIENNE. His translations and other works on Oriental subjects abound in valuable indirect illustrations of M. Polo; but in Notices et Extraits des MSS. de la Bibliotheque du Rio, tom. xvi. Pt. i. pp. 281-286, Paris, 1843, there are some excellent remarks both on the work itself and on Marsden's Edition of it.

40. MACFARLANE, CHARLESE Romance of Travel. London, C. Knight. 1846.

A good deal of intelligent talk on Marco Polo.

41. MEYER, ERNST H.F. Geschichte der Botanik. Koenigsberg, 1854-57.

42. THOMAS, Professor G.M. Zu Marco Polo, aus einem Cod. ital. Monacensis in the Sitzungsberichten der Muenchner Akademie, 4th March, 1862, pp. 261-270

43. KHANIKOFF, NICOLAS DE. Notice sur le Livre de Marco Polo, edite et commente par M.G. Pauthier. Paris, 1866. Extracted from the Journal Asiatique. I have frequently quoted this with advantage, and sometimes have ventured to dissent from it.

A meritorious essay, containing good remarks on the comparison of different Texts.

48. KINGSLEY, HENRY. Tales of Old Travel renarrated. London, 1869.

This begins with Marco Polo. The work has gone through several editions, but I do not know whether the author had corrected some rather eccentric geography and history that were presented in the first. Mr. Kingsley is the author of another story about Marco Polo in a Magazine, but I cannot recover the reference.

49. NOTES AND QUERIES for CHINA AND JAPAN. This was published from January, 1867, to November, 1870, at Hong-Kong under able editorship, and contained some valuable notes connected with Marco Polo's chapters on China.
