A Few Copies of Dr. Hasselquist’s 
Travels into the Holy Land, &c. in the 
Swedifh Language, having found their Way 
into this Kingdom, Application was made 
to an ingenious Gentleman, who had lived 
fome Time in Sweden, to tranflate them 
into Englifl. An Opportunity of furn idling 
the Learned of this Country with fo curious 
a Work, was not difpleafing to One, who had 
been well acquainted with the Merits and 
Abilities of the Author, being himfelf a Pu- 
pil of the celebrated Dr. Linnaeus. He ac- 
cordingly undertook, and before his Depar- 
ture from London finithed, the following 
Tranllation ; which indeed buffers in point of 
Stile, from theTranflator’s not being a Native 
of England, and from his adhering too 
clofely to the Idiom of the Swedifh Language: 
but it is hoped that when the candid Reader 
confiders the great Difficulty of finding a Per- 
fon lufficiently verfed in Natural Hiftory, and 
the Swedifh Language, and at the fame 
time willing to undertake fuch a Talk, he 
will rather forgive Imperfections, than wifh 
to have deprived the Republic of Letters of 
fo agreeable an Acquifition.
