Author Description

Excerpt from Travels in Malta and Sicily: With Sketches of Gibraltar, in 1827 Although nearly three years had elapsed since the tour in Europe was completed, of a part of which an acobunt is offered in the following pages, it was not till the last autumn that the author undertook to arrange and transcribe his notes for the press. In reviewing theui, after so long an interval and with reference to such a step, he was induced to think that, whatever might be their specific defects, they contained materials of information, on some topics, not generally accessible, nor, perhaps, altogether valueless; and that avolume could be furnished from them, to fill up a vacant place in' the catalogue of works by American travellers.
