611. Voyage dans la Haute et Basse Egypte. Par Sonnini. Paris, 1799. 3
vols. 8vo.--This work deservedly bears a high character for the accuracy
and fulness of its natural history; especially its ornithology:
antiquities, manners and customs, are by no means overlooked: there are two
translations into English,--the one published by Debrett, 1800, 4to. is the
best; it was afterwards published in 3 vols. 8vo.
612. Voyage dans la Haute et Basse Egypte. Par Denon. Paris, 1802. 2 vols.
folio.
613. Description de l'Egypte, ou Recueil des Observations, &c. faites
pendant l'Expedition de l'Armie Francaise, en 3 livraisons. Paris, 1809,
&c.
These magnificent works, the result of the observations and researches
of the savans who accompanied Bonaparte, undoubtedly add much to our
knowledge of Egypt; but they are more decidedly specimens of French
vanity and philosophism, than of sober and real science. Denon's work is
translated into English and German: the best English translation is by
Aikin.
614. Norden's Travels in Egypt and Nubia, with Templeman's notes, published
and translated under the inspection of the Royal Society of London, 1757, 2
vols. folio.--Norden was a Danish physician; his work was originally
published in that language. A French translation was published at
Copenhagen, in 1755; and a subsequent one at Paris in 1795-98, in 3 vols.
