27. Collection Portative de Voyages, traduit de differentes Langues
Orientales et Europiennes. Par Langles. Paris, 3 vols. 18mo.
28. Histoire Generale des Voyages. Par Prevot. Paris, 20 vols. 4to. - This
work is valuable for its excellent engravings, maps, plans, &c., but in
other respects its value has fallen, in consequence of the following
abridgment of it:
29. Abrege de l'Histoire Generate des Voyages de Prevot. Par La Harpe.
Paris, 1780-1786. 23 vols. 8vo. - The last five volumes contain voyages and
travels not given by Prevot. This work also has been continued by Comeyras
in 1798-1801, in 9 vols. 8vo.
30. Abrege de l'Histoire Generale des Voyages. Par La Harpe. 2 vols. 12mo.
Paris, 1820. - This abridgment is executed with considerable judgment; it is
necessarily confined to the most novel and curious parts of the narratives
and descriptions.
31. Annales des Voyages. Par Malte Brun. 25 vols. 8vo. Paris, 1814-1817.
32. Nouvelles Annales des Voyages. Par Malte Brun et Eyries. - Twelve
volumes are already published: four volumes are published annually. Perhaps
the very high character of Malte Brun would lead us to expect a more severe
and judicious selection than some parts of this work exhibit; but, on the
whole, it is valuable.
33. Journal des Voyages, Decouvertes et Navigations Modernes, ou Archives
Geographiques du 19me Siecle. - This work began in Nov. 1818, and is
published monthly. Like all collections of this kind, the value of it would
have been encreased, and the bulk much diminished, if the selection had
been more scrupulous.
34. Delle Navigationi e Viaggi raccolti da M.G.B. Ramusio. Venet. - The most
complete and accurate edition of this book consists of vol. 1. of the
edition of 1588; vol. 2. of 1583; the third of 1565; and the Supplement of
1606.
35. J.R. Forster und M.C. Sprengel, Beytrage zur Volker-und Landerkunde.
Leipsic, 1781 - 94. 13 vols. 8vo.
36. Magazin von merkerurdigen Reisebeschreibungen, aus fremden Sprachen
ubersizt. Von J.R. Forster. Berlin, 1790 - 1802. 24 vols. 8vo.
37. Bibliothek der neuesten und wichtigstien Reisebeschreibungen. Von M.C.
Sprengel. Weimar, 1801. &c. 22 vols. 8vo. - There are many other
collections in German; the best of which are noticed by Ersch, in his
Literatur der Geschichte und deren Hulfswissenschaften. Leipsic, 1813.
38. Samling af de beste og nyeste Reise-beskriveler. Copen. 1790 - 5. 12
vols. 8vo.
39. Danskes Reise-iagttagelser. Copen. 1798 - 1800. 4 vols. 8vo.
40. Versamnelling der gedenkwaardegsten Reisen nae oost en West Indien door
de Bry. Leyden, 1707 - 10. 30 vols. 8vo.
41. El Viagero Universal. Madrid, 1800. - This work was published originally
in small parts, which form a great many volumes in 8vo.
42. Novus Orbis Regionum et Institutorum Veteribus incognitarum. Basle,
1532. fol. Paris, 1582. fol.
43. Collectiones Peregrinationum in Indiam Orientalem et Occidentalem.
Francfort, 1590 - 1634. 7 vols. fol., or 9 vols. fol. - The first edition,
when complete, is by far the most valuable. Several dissertations have been
published on this work, which is generally called Les Grands et Petits
Voyages.
