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. Of the German travels in
Hungary and Transylvania, the greater part are mineralogical. We shall
select a few.
306. Born, Briefe uber Mineralogische gegenstande auf einer Reise durch den
Temeswarer Bannat, &c. Leip. 1774. 8vo.--This mineralogical tour in Hungary
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.
