from whence he made another Journey in Italy ^ 
that he might fee all the other Places which he 
had not vifited the time before, and made fome 
ftay at the Court of Savoy ^ before he returned into 
France. Our Author hath publiihed nothing of 
thefe Travels ; not but that he made a Relation 
of them, which he was at the pains to write out 
fair : But as he was a modeft Man, and diftruftful 
of his own performances^ he would not give it to 
be printed with thefirft part of his Travels, which 
he himielf handed to the Prels, thinking thefe were 
Countreys Efficiently known already. It is indeed, 
but his firft ElTay, yet perhaps not inferior to the

a ûccinâ Account of all that is Curious in every 
place, and a charader of the feveral People. In

formation of thofe Countreys, and not too much, 
to cloy the Reader with the repetition of what he 
hath feen before. The Publifher of the two laft 
Parts of thefe Travels, has that Relation by him, 
but has as yet taken no refolution what to do 
with it. 
Our lUuftrious Traveller had not been long at 
home after his firft Travels, before the fame Motives 
of Curiofity and Learning, put him upotj prepa- 
ring for a fécond Expedition, fo that privately he 
withdrew himfelf from his Friends, without taking 
leave, in order to travel over Per fia and the Indiey^ 
which are the Subjeds of the two laft Parts of his 
Relations, and of the laft part of his days; for 
as he was returning again through Perfia into 
Europe
