We shall therefore annex the titles of the most interesting and
instructive of these travels, which were performed between the ninth and
fifteenth centuries, referring such of our readers who wish for a more
complete list or fuller information on the subject, to the Bibliotheque
des Voyages, Vol. I. p. 32., &c.; Murray's Asiatic Discoveries; the
Review of Murray's work in the 48th number of the Quarterly Review;
Forster's Voyages and Discoveries in the North; and Collection portative
de Voyages. Par C. Langles.
679. Ancient accounts of India and China. By Two Mahomedan Travellers in
the ninth century; translated from the Arabic by E. Renaudot. 8vo.
1733.--The authenticity of this work is established by M. de Guignes,
having found the original in the Royal Library at Paris: and the
information it contains, though mixed with much that is fabulous, is very
curious and valuable, especially in what relates to China.
680. Voyages faites principalement dans les 12, 13, 14, and 15 siecles, par
Benjamin de Tudela, Carpin, Ancilin, Rubruquis, Marco Polo, Haiton,
Mandeville, et Contarini; publies par P. Bergerin, avec des Cartes
Geographiques. La Haye, 1735. 2 vols. 4to.
This is a valuable collection, except so far as regards Marco Polos'
Travels, the translation of which is neither elegant nor faithful.
