and Transylvania by Born, and published by Ferber, possesess a sufficient
guarantee of its accuracy and value from the names of the author and
editor. It is, however, not confined to mineralogy, but contains curious
notices on some tribes inhabiting Transylvania and the adjacent districts,
very little known: it is translated into French.

GERMANY.
This large district of Europe offers, not only from its extent, but also
from numerous causes of diversity among its parts, - some established by
nature, and others introduced by man - various numerous and important
objects to the research and observation of the traveller. Its mines, -
the productions of its soil and its manufactures, - the shades of its
expressive, copious, and most philosophical language, - from the
classical idiom of Saxony, to the comparatively rude and uncultivated
dialect of Austria, - the effects on manners, habits, feeling, and
intellectual and moral acquirements, produced by the different species
of the Christian religion professed, - and the different forms of
government prevailing in its different parts; - all these circumstances,
and others of a more evanescent and subtle, though still an influential
nature, render Germany a vast field for enquiry and observation.
