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.
Scrofani, Reise en Griechenland, 1794-5. Leip. 1801. 8vo. The German translation of this work, originally published in Italian, is superior to the original, and to the French translation, by the addition of valuable notes by the translator, and the omission of irrelevant matter. Scrofani pays particular attention to commercial details respecting the Ionian Isles, Dalmatia, the Morea, &c.
Bernoulli's Collection of Travels, Samlung kleiner reise beschriebungen, Leips. 1781-7, 18 vols. 8vo., contains many interesting short narratives and descriptions, particularly relating to Germany.

Almost breathless, and quite bewildered, I instinctively turned round to see what manner of wild being this girl behind was.

Göschen’s “Reise von Johann” is a product of the late renascence of sentimental journeying. Master and servant are represented in this book as traveling through southern Germany, a
The chief merit of this work consists in the exactitude of its descriptions of places, and in the determination of their distances and true positions, which are further illustrated by maps. Beschreibung der Reise eines Polnishchen Herrn Bothschafters gen Constantinople und in die Tartary. Nuremberg, 1574. 4to. Sal. Schweiger Reise-beschriebung aus Deutschland nach Constantinopel und Jerusalem.
In modern times a theory of development was first suggested by Goethe in his "Italienische Reise."
And now, ride e'en your ways; for these are the last words ye'll ever hear Meg Merrilies speak, and this is the last reise that I'll ever cut in the bonny woods of Ellangowan. So saying, she broke the sapling she held in her hand, and flung it into the road.
