40.  MACFARLANE, CHARLESE Romance of Travel.  London, C. Knight. 1846.

A good deal of intelligent talk on Marco Polo.

41.  MEYER, ERNST H.F. Geschichte der Botanik.  Koenigsberg, 1854-57.

In vol. iv, there is a special chapter on Marco Polo’s notices of plants.

43.  KHANIKOFF, NICOLAS DE. Notice sur le Livre de Marco Polo, edite et commente par M.G.  Pauthier.  Paris, 1866.  Extracted from the Journal Asiatique.  I have frequently quoted this with advantage, and sometimes have ventured to dissent from it.

44.  CAHIER, Pere.  Criticism of Pauthier’s Marco Polo, and reply by G. Pauthier, in Etudes Litteraires et Religieuses of 1866 and 1867.  Paris.

45.  BARTHELEMY ST. HILAIRE.  A series of articles on Marco Polo in the Journal des Savants of January-May, 1867, chiefly consisting of a reproduction of Pauthier’s views and deductions.

A meritorious essay, containing good remarks on the comparison of different Texts.

48.  KINGSLEY, HENRY. Tales of Old Travel renarrated.  London, 1869.

This begins with Marco Polo.  The work has gone through several editions, but I do not know whether the author had corrected some rather eccentric geography and history that were presented in the first.  Mr. Kingsley is the author of another story about Marco Polo in a Magazine, but I cannot recover the reference.
