‘The dances of the Candiots exhibit great 
elegdnce and fimplicity, and are as an- 
cient as the days of Homer; they are 
accompanied by fongs, of a flow and me- 
lancholy kind; their women are the leaf 
hand{fome of any of the neighbouring illes. 
‘The Spachiotes are the only Greeks who 
till preferve the wailike dance, called 
the Pyrrbic; their manners are according-

inclined to violence.

As this work has been tranflated by 
Profefior C. F. Cramer, one of the moft 
diftinguifhed men of letters at prefent 
in Germany, that circumftance alone is 
fuficient toenfure it a favourable reception 
in the country where it is now publifhed. 
‘The German traveller treats of the 
works of art, the manners, and the na- 
tural genius of the people; in fhort no- 
thing is forgotten; but as the work is not

«Premier Voyage autour du Monde,

Grand Matter of Rhodes. Qa his return 
from this expedition, Pigafetta prefented 
to Charles V. ‘not gold or filver (fays 
he), but matters far more precious to his 
eyes. Among other objects of curiofity, 
I gave his Majefty a book written with 
my own hand, in which I kept a journal, 
day by day, of the various occurrences 
that took place during the expedition.” 
Of the work thus announced, which 
muft have been highly valuable at that 
period, Ranvufio publithed only an extra&, 
and M. Amoretti, the editor, bas been at 
great pains to difcover the original, but 
in this he failed: he has however found 
in the Ambrofian Library at Milan a 
tranflation by the Chevalier de Forrét, 
one of the brave defenders of the Ifle of 
Rhodes. 
Although the principal occurrences in 
Magellan's voyage are not unknown te 
the public, yet none of the particulars 
relative to the death of that great naviga~ 
tor can be confidered as uninterefting. 
After mentioning that he was killed on 
the 27th of April, 1521, in an engagement 
with the inhabitants of the ifland of 
Zebu, Pigafetta exprefles himfelf as fol- 
lows: 
“Tt was thus that our guide, our fup- 
port, and our commander perifhed. When 
he fell, perceiving himfeif furrounded by 
the enemy, he turned feveral times to- 
wards us, with a view to difcover if we 
fhould be able to fave ourfelves; and as 
none of us happened to be wounded, and 
we were equally unable either to fuccour 
or avenge our chief, we had the good 
fortune to rétreat to our boats, which 
were about to depart. It is to our Cap- 
tain then alone, we are indebted for our 
fatety, becaufe at the moment he was 
killed, all the iflanders furrounded the 
fpot where he fell. But the glory of 
Magellan (adds he) will furvive his 
death, for he was adorned with all the 
‘ virtues, and exhibited the moft unfhaken 
firmneis, amidft the greateft adverfity, 
While at fea, he made it a rule to expe- 
rience the fame privations as his crew. 
Better acquainted than any man of his 
age with nautica] charts, he was likewife 
a proficient in the art of navigation, as is 
demenftrated by his having fucceeded in 
failing around the world, a project which 
no one before his time had dared to un- 
dertake.”” : 
The editor, who is keeper of the Am- 
brofian Library, here remarks, thatMagel- . 
lan had aétually circomnavigated no more 
than one half the globe, but, that Piga.
