Which are confined to one
country, - France, for instance, - may easily be found, but also all those
travels which comprehend France along with other countries.
The same arrangement is pursued in the other parts of the world, - Asia,
Africa, America, Australasia, and Polynesia. The articles are arranged as
nearly as possible in the chronological order in which the voyages and
travels were performed in each particular country, and the countries are
placed according to their geographical relation to one another.
