personal adventures of the author in his attempts to reach the summit of
the mountains. There is an English translation of the former of these

456. Voyage en 1787-88, dans la ci-devant Haute et Basse Auvergne. Par Le
Grand D'Aussy. Paris, 1795. 3 vols. 8vo.
457. Tableau de la ci-devant Provence D'Auvergne. Par Rabine Beauregard, et
P.M. Gault. Paris, 1802. 8vo.--No district in France presents such a
variety of interesting objects as Auvergne; its inhabitants, in their
language, dress, manners, and mode of life; its agriculture, its natural
history, and its antiquities of the classical and middle ages. Le Grand
D'Aussy treats well of all but the last, and this is supplied by the other

464. Voyage dans les Departements nouvellement reunis, et dans le
Departements du Bas Rhin, du Nord, du Pas de Calais, et de la Somme. 1802.
