    were possible to doe as much for our Countriman Mandeuil, who next (if
    next) was the greatest Asian Traueller that euer the World had, &

    inserted it in Italian, in the second Volume of his Collection; as
    Hakluyt, in his Navigations, has done the Latin, with an English

    Sign of the Cross; yet fled for Fear, at the Sight of a Face that
    grinned at him.  In short, though he relates some Things on the
    Tartars and Manci (as he writes Manji) which agree with Polo’s
    Account; yet it seems plain, from the Names of Places and other
    Circumstances, that he never was in those Countries, but imposed on
