505.  Beschriebung einer Reise, von Hamburgh nach England.  Von P. A Nemnich.  Tubingen, 1801. 8vo.—­The state of our principal manufactures is the almost exclusive object of this work.

506.  Mineralogische und Technologische Bemerkungen auf einer Reise durch verschiedene Provinzen in England und Schottland.  Von J.C.  Fabricius.  Leipsic, 1784. 8vo.—­This work, the nature of which is indicated in the title, is enriched by the notes of that distinguished mineralogist Ferber.

507.  Reise nach Paris, London, &c.  Von.  Franck.  Vienna, 1804. 2 vols. 8vo—­This work of Dr. Franks, which is chiefly confined to England and Scotland, is principally interesting to medical men, as it contains an account of hospitals, prisons, poor-houses, infirmaries, &c.

508.  Gedenkwaardije a antkeningen gedaan door en reisiger, van geghel England, Schottland, ent Irland.  Utrecht, 1699. fol.

509.  Kort Journel eller Reise beskrievelse til England, ved Christ Gram.  Christiana, 1760. 4to.

510.  Reise durch einen Theil von England und Schottland, 1802-3. 8vo.  Marburg, 1811.—­These travels,—­which, like all travels in our own country by foreigners, are interesting, independently of any intrinsic merit, because they exhibit the impressions made on them by what to us is either common or proper,—­are translated from the Swedish:  the author’s name is Svedensgerna.

511.  Erinnerungen von einer Reise durch England, 1803-5.  Von Johanna Schopenhauser. 2 vols. 8vo.  Rudolst, 1813.—­Light and lively sketches.

512.  P. Coronelli Viaggio nell’ Enghilterra.  Venice, 1697. 8vo.—­These three works, Nos. 509, 510, and 512, by a Dutchman, a Dane, and Italian, are interesting from the picture they exhibit of Britain at the close of the seventeenth, and in the middle of the eighteenth century.

513.  Journee faite en 1788 dans la Grande Bretagne.  Paris, 1790. 8vo.—­The author, who recommends himself by stating that he could speak English, principally directs his enquiries to agriculture and manufactures.

514.  Voyages dans les Trois Royaumes d’Angleterre, d’Ecosse, et d’Irlande, 1788-89.  Par Chantreau.  Paris, 1792. 3 vols. 8vo.—­The political constitution, religious opinions, manners, prejudices, state of arts and sciences, &c. of Britain, are treated of here with considerable talent for observation, and on the whole not unfairly.

515.  Tableau de la Grande Bretagne et de l’Irlande.  Par A. Baert.  Paris, 1800. 4 vols. 8vo.—­This author frequently visited England, and resided here for some time:  his work relates to our commerce, finances, naval and military force, religious opinions, literature, arts and manufactures, and physical and moral character.

516.  Voyage de trois Mois en Angleterre, en Ecosse, et en Irlande.  Par M.A.  Pictet.  Paris, 1802. 8vo.—­The state of the arts and sciences principally, and the state of agriculture, and the natural history, especially geology, are the objects of this work.  The literary character of the author is well known; this work, perhaps, hardly is worthy of it.
