173.  Journal du Voyage de Montaigne en Italie, par la Suisse et l’Allemagne, en 1580-81.  Paris, 1774. 4to.—­Italy and the Tyrol are particularly the objects of those travels, which are interesting, much more on account of the name of the author, and of the insight they afford into his temper and feelings, than from the information they convey.

174.  Lettres du Baron de Busbec.  Paris, 1748. 3 vols. 12mo.—­These are written from Turkey, whither the author was sent as ambassador by Ferdinand King of Hungary, and from France, where he resided in an official character.  The original is in Latin.  There is a translation in English; but this comprises only the embassy to Turkey.  They are rich in political information, and in depicting the manners, &c. of the people he visited, especially those inhabiting the neighbourhood of the Don, &c.

175.  Relations Historiques des Voyages en Allemagne, Angleterre, Holland, Boheme, et Suisse.  Par C. Patin.  Lyon, 1674. 16mo.—­This author was son of the celebrated physician, Guy Patin, and distinguished for his knowledge of medals:  his travels principally relate to antiquities.

176.  Relation d’un Voyage de Paris, en Espagne, en Portugal, et en Italie, 1769, 1770.  Par M. Silhouette.  Paris, 1770. 4 vols. 12mo.—­This is the minister of finance, whose measures of economy were so much ridiculed by the Parisians, and from whom the portraits, called Silhouettes, took their name:  his travels indicate considerable acquaintance with the arts and political affairs.

177.  Lettres sur differens Sujets, ecrites pendant le Cours d’un Voyage en Allemagne, en Suisse, dans la France Meridionelle, et en Italie.  Par Bernouilli.  Basle and Berlin, 1777. 3 vols. 8vo.—­The author of these letters, one of the celebrated family of mathematicians of that name, has borrowed the greater part of his work that relates to natural history from a Spanish work, entitled, “Cartas familiares del Abbate Juan Andres,” of which there is an edition published in Madrid, in 6 vols. small 4to.  Bernouilli has, however, added much information and interest to his letters, by his description and account of collections of paintings.

178.  Tableau de l’Angleterre et de l’Italie.  Par Archenholz.  Strasburgh, 1788. 3 vols. 12mo.—­This work is translated from the German.

179.  Voyage de Deux Francais en Allemagne, en Danemarck, en Suede, en Russe, et en Pologne, 1790-1.  Par Portia de Piles.  Paris, 1796. 5 vols. 12mo.—­This is a valuable work for all kinds of statistical information.

180.  Voyage Philosophique et Pittoresque sur les Rives du Rhin, a Leige, dans la Flandre, le Brabant, la Hollande, augmentee d’une Voyage en Angleterre, et en France.  Par G. Forster.  Paris, 5 vols. 8vo.—­The author (whose acquirements in natural history, and in general science and philosophical research, as well as whose peculiar temper, are well known from his connection with Captain Cook during his second voyage, and his works on this voyage) has here produced an interesting and instructive work; particularly so far as relates to his favourite study:  it is also interesting as depicting the political state of the countries he visited, and his strong, ardent, and sanguine views at the commencement of the French Revolution.
