The travels in this country, especially by its native inhabitants, are
so numerous, that we must content ourselves with a scrupulous and
limited selection;--referring such of our readers as wish to consult a
more copious catalogue, to "Ersch's Literatur der Geschichte und deren
Hulfswissenschaften." We shall follow our usual plan, selecting those
travels which give the best idea of the country, at remote, intervening,
and late periods.
313. Martini Zeilleri, Itinerarium Germaniae nov-antiquae. Strasb. 1632. 4to.
314. Christ. Dorrington's Reflections on a Journey through some Provinces
of Germany in 1698. Lond. 1699. 8vo.
315. The German Spy. By Thomas Ledyart. 1740. 8vo.
316. Keysler's Travels through Germany, Bohemia, Hungary, Switzerland,
Italy, and Lorrain. Translated from the German, 1756. 2 vols.
4to.--Keysler, though a German, was educated at St. Edmund's Hall: he
travelled with the Count of Gleich and other noblemen. His favourite study
was antiquities; but his judgment, in those parts of his travels which
relate to them, has been questioned. His work, though heavy, is interesting
from the picture it exhibits of Germany, &c. in the middle of the 18th
century.
317. Adams's Letters on Silesia, during a Tour in 1800-2. Philadelphia, 3
vols. 8vo.--Mr. Adams was ambassador from the United States to Berlin: his
work contains some interesting information, especially on the manufactures
of Silesia.
