vicinity of Naples, and into Sicily. These works are historical,
geographical, and antiquarian, but heavily written.

forms the principal subject of these volumes, which are worthy of the
author, who was esteemed one of the first natural historians of His age.
395. Boisgelin's Ancient and Modern Malta. 3 vols. 4to. translated from the
French.--Only the first part of this work is descriptive, and it certainly
contains an interesting account of Malta and the Maltese; the rest of the
work is historical.
396. Brydon's Tour through Sicily and Malta. 2 vols. 8vo. 1776.--Liveliness
of description of scenery and manners, couched in an easy and elegant
style, has rendered these volumes extremely popular, notwithstanding they
do
not display much learning or knowledge, and are even sometimes superficial
and inaccurate.

respecting Paoli, as well as on the island and its inhabitants.
398. Eustace's Classical Tour through Italy. 4 vols.
