TO 
THE SECOND QUARTO EDITION OP 
PART THE FIRST. 
In the present Edition, some verbal corrections 
will be found in various passages. Some addi- 
tions have also been made; and it is hoped that 
they will add to the general interest excited by 
the work. The Notes, in certain instances, have 
been augmented, and the number of Inscriptions 
increased, by very valuable communications 
from Charles Kelsall, Esq. of Trinity College, 
Cambridge, who lately pursued a similar route 
to that of the author, in the South of Russia. 
Robert Corner, Esq. of Malta, has also obligingly 
added to the Appendix, an important article 
concerning the Internal Navigation of the Russian 
Empire'. 
After the fullest and most impartial conside- 
ration, the author is contented to rest the truth
