^ S ingenious Author, in the Colleiflion 
g of his Travels which he publillied, has 
S regarded rather the Relation between 
™ ■ Places, and the natural Connexion of 
Things, than the Order of Time, for with refpeft to 
this, his Journey to the Mines was prior to that which 
he made to Lariffa. In following this Method, he 
fought the Reader’s Conveniency and Information, to 
whom it was of little Confequence when he travel’d, 
provided he was well inform’d of what he faw. While 
the Doftor lived, his Rank in his Profeffion, his high 
Reputation, univerfal Acquaintance and agreeable Con- 
verfation, gave his Travels the Vogue, and every body 
read them with Applaufe ; but now they begin to grow 
a little out of Date, merely on the Score of their be- 
ing made fo long ago ; and yet we have nothing bet- 
ter, or, to fpeak the Truth honeftly, nothing near fo 
good. 
indeed, it is not at all probable that we fhall ever 
meet with any Thing of the like Kind of equal Value ; 
for in the firft Place, Dr. Browne travel’d at a proper 
Age, not after paffing a Year at the Univerlity, but 
after having paffed with Applaufe through both Uni-

verfities, and waS in his twenty-feventh' Year. In the 
next Place, he was a Man of great Learning, very well 
fkilled in ancient Hiftory, and a perfedt Mafter of the 
Greek Language. ^ We may add to this, that he was 
alfo acquainted with Phyfick, Botany, Anatomy, natu- 
ral Hiftory and Chymiftry ; which laft feefns to me to 
have been his favourite Study. But the main Recom- 
mendation of all remains yet behind ; he did not tra-r 
vel for the Sake of Amufement, and to kill Time, or 
as a Trader in Expedation of Gain, or in pure Obedi- 
ence to a Father, who defired, that Traveling Ihould 
fet a Polifh upon his Education ; but he traVel’d for the 
Sake of Knov/ledge, that he might employ his junior 
Years in procuring Materials fit for the Meditations of 
old Age *, that he might vifit thdfe Countries with his 
Eyes, of which modern Books gave him fd bad an 
Account j and that he might gratify his peculiar In- 
clination to the Study of Minerals, by infpeding him- 
felf the moft famous Mines of Europe. VvTien he had 
executed his Dcfign, a.nd found his Head fraught with 
Knowledge fuperior to that of other Men, and Very-con- 
ducive to The publick Good, die refolved not fo conceal 
it j and thus the Writing aqd the Publication of his
