DR. MOTT'S TRAVELS IN EUROPE AND THE EAST. 

 Travels in Europe and the East. By Valentine Mott, 

 M.D. 8vo. Muslin gilt. 81 90. 



The learned professor has judiciously abstained from the more common 

 and familiar topics described by former tourists, and has introduced us to 

 the most distinguished schools of medicine and surgery, and to a familiar 

 acquaintance with the character, manners, &c., of the most distinguished 

 foreign members of the faculty. The author has evidently observed 

 whatever. came under his notice with a critical eye, and has given some 

 new and striking views, particula!rly in regard to the Pythian Oracle, the 

 Temple of Apollo at Delphis, and the religion of the ancient Egyptians.
