A valuable work on this particular subject. Narrative of a Three Years' Residence in France, principally in the Southern Departments. 1802-5. By Anne Plumptree. 3 vols. 8vo. Some useful information on the productions, scenery, and manners of this part of France, may be collected from these volumes. Travels through the South of France, 1807-8. By Lieut.-Col. Pinckney. 4to.
Written 1807-8. 1st Edition, 1808. This work is designed as a supplement to the Adventures of Telemachus. It treats of the conduct and sufferings of Ulysses, the father of Telemachus.
Even if Heine had known it he could have borrowed nothing from it except the name of his heroine.

This, of course, is not to say that Heine borrowed from Loeben.
A severer judgment, by suppressing much that is minute and uninteresting, and dwelling more on important matters, and a knowledge of natural history, would have enhanced the value of these travels, which, however, are much more creditable to the author than his Travels in Russia. Reise in den Kaukasies und nach Georgien, 1807-8. 2 vols. 8vo. Halle, 1812.
The history of Place's agitation is fully given in Mr. Graham Wallas's Life, chap. viii. Wallas's Francis Place, p. 217. First published in 1807-8. Letter iii. Ibid. vi. Sydney Smith put very ingeniously the advantages of what he called the 'lottery' system: of giving, that is, a few great prizes, instead of equalising the incomes of the clergy.
