Description
I was led to select Bernier’s Travels as the opening volume of my ORIENTAL MISCELLANY Series for two reasons.An edition of this book had been promised,but never actually issued, by my Grandfather as one of the works to be included in that MISCELLANY, which may be regarded as the precursor of all the healthy,cheap, and popular literature of the present day; and further, it was a book which I had ever admired, even before I was able, from actual experience, to fully appreciate its very remarkable accuracy.
