WRITTEN BY AN ENGLISH TRAVELLER,
DURING THE YEARS 1801-2, TO A FRIEND IN LONDON. * * * * * _Ipsa varietate tentamus efficere, ut alia aliis, quaedem fortasse omnibus placeant. PLIN. Epist._ * * * * * VOL. I LONDON 1803 ADVERTISEMENT. In the course of the following production, the Reader will meet with several references to a Plan of Paris, which it had been intended to prefix to the work; but that intention having been frustrated by the rupture between the two countries, in consequence of which the copies for the whole of the Edition have been detained at Calais, it is hoped that this apology will be accepted for the omission. |
