Among tlie modern travellers in Africa^ Horneman de- 

 ierves respectful notice. His Travels from Cairo to Mour- 

 zouk\ tJia capital of the Ki7igdovi of Fezzan, in the years 

 1797 and 1798, added something to our knowledge of the 

 interior of Africa. 



Mr. Browne was inadvertently mentioned as having vi- 

 sited Abi/ssiiiia. He did not go into that part of Africa. 



Flacourt is placed by mistake in the eighteendi century. 

 He lived in the preceding age. 



Sir William Jones has given the best account of the 

 GoDhoro Isles that is extant. — See the Asiatic Miscellany, 



Turkish Empire, p. 347. 



The travels of Chandler, Tournefort, D'Ohssok, 

 and Olivier, in the Tiukish Empire, have thrown much 

 new iig'u on the physical and moral condition of different 

 pans of that section of the globe. 



North- America, p. 349. 



ob\x\t of the best accounts of the physical and moral con-

John Lawson, whose work on North^Carolina is referred 

 to in the above-mentioned page, was the Surveyor-General of 

 that colony at the beginning of the eighteenth century. His 

 work is a valuable one. 



Brtckell is also mentioned in connection with Lawsox, 

 as having contributed to extend our knowledge of that coun- 

 try. But since that page was written, the author has ascer- 

 tained that Brickell's work is nothing more than a villain- 

 ous imposition. He put his name to Lawson's work, and 

 not only copied verbatim whole pajres, but tlie entire volume, 

 excepting nicrely those alterations which became indispensi- 

 biy necessary to give seme decent colouring to the imposture.
