2 vols.
12mo. - This is a scarce and valuable work, especially that part of it which
relates to Asiatic Turkey, Georgia, and Persia: there is likewise in it a
particular account of the commerce of the English and Dutch in the Levant
at this period.
89. Le Voyage du Sieur Duloir. Paris, 1654. 4to. - This work, beside much
historical information respecting Turkey, and the Siege of Babylon in 1639,
contains many particulars regarding the Religion, &c. of the Turks. It
comprises the Archipelago, Greece, European Turkey and Asia Minor. It is
likewise particular in the description of antiquities.

Indes. Traduits du Hollandais. Amsterdam. 4to. 1681. Rouen, 3 vols. 12mo.
1730. - The Travels of Struys, who was actuated from his earliest youth with
an insatiable desire to visit foreign countries, are especially interesting
from the account he gives of Muscovy and Tartary at this period.
91. Voyages tres Curieux et tres Renommes, faits en Moscovie, Tartarie et
Perse. Par Adam Olearius. Traduits d'Allemagne. Amsterdam, fol.

containing Observations especially on Italy, Turkey, Greece, Tartary,
Circassia, Sweden and Lapland. By De la Mottraye. 1723. 2 vols. fol.
Veracity and exactness, particularly so far as regards the copying of
inscriptions, characterise these travels. They are also valuable for
information respecting the mines of the North of Europe.

the French, 1687. fol. The 4th edition of the original in 3 vols. is very
rare; the more common one is that of Amsterdam in 5 vols. 12mo. These
travels comprise Egypt, Arabia, and other places in Africa and Asia,
besides those places indicated in the title page. The chief value of them
consists in his account of the manners, government, &c. of the Turks. This
author must not be confounded with the Mel. Thevenot, the author of a
Collection of Voyages.
103. A View of the Levant, particularly of Constantinople, Syria, Egypt and
Greece. By Ch. Parry. 1743. fol. 1770. 3 vols. 4to. This work is much less
known than it deserves to be: the author of the bibliotheque des Voyages
justly remarks, that the circumstance of its having been twice translated
into German is a pretty certain indication that it is full of good matter.

Arabia, Syria, Greece, Thrace, France, Italy, Germany. Poland, &c. by Dr.

out and describing the antiquities of Egypt and the East are well known.

Greece, Egypt, and the Holy Land. Vol. 4. The same Countries, and a Journey
from Constantinople to Vienna, and an Account of the Gold Mines of
Transylvania and Hungary. Vols. 5. & 6. Scandinavia. - There is no
department of enquiry or observation to which Dr. C. did not direct his
attention during his travels: in all he gives much information in a
pleasant style; and to all he evidently brought much judgment, talent, and
preparatory knowledge.
108. Chateaubriand's Travels in Greece, Palestine, Egypt, and Barbary,
1806-7. 2 vols. 8vo. - Those who admire this author's manner and style
will be gratified with these travels: and those who dislike them, may still
glean much information on antiquities, manners, customs, religion, &c.
109. Travels of Mirza Abu Taleb Khan in Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Translated by Charles Stewart. 1814. 3 vols. 12mo. - These travels, of the
genuineness of which there can be no doubt, derive their chief interest, as
depicting the character and feelings of the author, and the impressions
made on his mind by what he saw and heard.

have travelled between 1547 and 1550. His work is rich in botany and
natural history, especially considering the period in which he lived; and
the accompanying plates are very accurate.
