of the Picture of Petersburgh, well known to the English reader, is
admitted here for the same reason which gave insertion to Tooke's Russia.
It is, however, we believe, not yet complete according to the original plan
of the author; and the French translation only comprises what relates to
the physical and civil state of the inhabitants. Storch's Work, in
conjunction with that of Georgi, on the geography and natural history of
Russia, will comprise all that is interesting respecting this vast country.

TURKEY, GREECE, DALMATIA, &C.

The countries of Europe, the travels into which we have hitherto
enumerated, do not present very various and numerous objects of
research. In Scandinavia the natural historian, especially the
mineralogist, will be chiefly interested. The vast extent of the Russian
empire also affords objects of curious and novel research to the
botanist and zoologist, few to the mineralogist. The Salt Mines of
Poland afford the principal objects of investigation to scientific
travellers in this country. Manners, habits, political institutions, and
religion, of course, are interesting in all; and to those whose studies
and enquiries lead them to investigate the differences in the different
families of the human race, the opportunities afforded them by the
Gothic Nations of Scandinavia; the Slavonic nations of Russia and
Poland; and the totally distinct and singular races which inhabit
Lapland and Finland, must be valuable and useful.

When we enter Turkey, the scene changes, or rather expands. Within its
European, as well as its Asiatic empire, travellers of all descriptions,
however various their objects, will find rich and ample materials.

plants remarkable for their uses in medicine and the arts, or for their
