100.  Edwin Sandy’s Travels into Turkey, Palestine, Egypt, and Italy, begun in 1610. fol. 1658.

101.  Travels through Europe, Asia, and into several parts of Africa, containing Observations especially on Italy, Turkey, Greece, Tartary, Circassia, Sweden and Lapland.  By De la Mottraye. 1723. 2 vols. fol.  Veracity and exactness, particularly so far as regards the copying of inscriptions, characterise these travels.  They are also valuable for information respecting the mines of the North of Europe.

102.  Travels of Thevenot into Turkey, Persia, and India.  Translated from the French, 1687. fol.  The 4th edition of the original in 3 vols. is very rare; the more common one is that of Amsterdam in 5 vols. 12mo.  These travels comprise Egypt, Arabia, and other places in Africa and Asia, besides those places indicated in the title page.  The chief value of them consists in his account of the manners, government, &c. of the Turks.  This author must not be confounded with the Mel.  Thevenot, the author of a Collection of Voyages.

103.  A View of the Levant, particularly of Constantinople, Syria, Egypt and Greece.  By Ch.  Parry. 1743. fol. 1770. 3 vols. 4to.  This work is much less known than it deserves to be:  the author of the bibliotheque des Voyages justly remarks, that the circumstance of its having been twice translated into German is a pretty certain indication that it is full of good matter.

104.  Description of the East, and some other Countries:  Egypt, Palestine, Arabia, Syria, Greece, Thrace, France, Italy, Germany.  Poland, &c. by Dr. Richard Pococke. 3 vols. fol. 1743-8.  The merits of this work in pointing out and describing the antiquities of Egypt and the East are well known.

105.  Travels through Europe, Asia, and Africa.  By Lithgow.  Edinburgh, 1770. 8vo.—­This is one of the best editions of a book, the chief interest of which consists in the personal narrative of the author.

106.  Travels in the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, and Persia.  By Olivier.  Translated from the French, 1802. 4to.
