Autore E. Koempfer. Lemgo, 1712. 4to. This work relates principally to Persia, and the easternmost parts of Asia: M. Langles justly characterizes it as a rich mine of information of all kinds respecting this portion of the world. Samlung der murkwurdigsten Reisen in den Orient. Von E. Panlus. Jena, 1792-1798. 10 vols. 8vo.

This work does not add very much to what Koempfer and Thunberg have told, but perhaps quite as much as the author, under his circumstances, could collect or observe. The same remarks apply to his Recollections of Japan. 1 vol. 8vo.

This edition of Koempfer's celebrated work on Japan contains several things which are not to be found in the English translation. Histoire du Japan. Par Charlevoix. Paris, 1754, 6 vols. 12mo. This is the best edition of Charlevoix's work, many parts of which, especially what relates to natural history, are drawn from Koempfer.

This work relates principally to Japan; and it may justly be remarked, that few parts of the world have met with sucn admirable describers as Japan has done, in Koempfer and Thunberg. Certainly the natural history of no part, so rich in this respect, has been so fully and scientifically investigated.
