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.
