Paris, 1810. 8vo. - The Hellespont
and Constantinople are the principal subjects of these letters, which are
lively and amusing in their pictures of manners and life. The same
character applies to his "Lettres sur l'Italie." Paris, 1819. 3 vols. 8vo.
302. Voyage a l'Embouchure de la Mer Noire. Par Andreossy. Paris, 1818.
8vo. - A valuable work on physical geography, and to the engineer and
architect, and such as might have been expected from the professional
pursuits and favourable opportunities of the author.
303. Lettres sur le Bosphore, 1816 - 19. 8vo. 1821.
304. Voyage Pittoresque et Historique de l'Istrie et de la Dalmatie, redige
d'apres l'Itineraire de L.F. Cassas, peintre. Par J. Lavallee. Paris, 1802.
fol. - This splendid work, as its title indicates, principally relates to
antiquities: there are, however, interspersed notices on manners, commerce,
&c. Zara, celebrated for its marasquin, is particularly described.
305. Scrofani, Reise en Griechenland, 1794-5. Leip. 1801. 8vo. - The German
translation of this work, originally published in Italian, is superior to
the original, and to the French translation, by the addition of valuable
notes by the translator, and the omission of irrelevant matter. Scrofani
pays particular attention to commercial details respecting the Ionian
Isles, Dalmatia, the Morea, &c.
The Germans were celebrated for their skill in metallurgy, and their
knowledge of mineralogy, at a period when the rest of Europe paid little
attention to these subjects; and German travels in countries celebrated
for their mines are, therefore, valuable.
