The new matter now submitted, to the Public, consists principally in a fuller account of the revenues of the stale, several additions on various other subjects, as the natural history of the country, its inhabitants, and .their modes of life, administration o f justice, treatment o f children, arid education of youth; some further observations on the plague, and the diseases incident to the inhabitants; a comparison between the ancient language of the Canary Islands and that .of the She\luhs of South Atlas; M r. Belton’s philanthropic Will and patriotic intentions, manifested in his liberal bequest to emancipate British seamen from captivity ; cautions to navigators; laws, manufactures, and customs of Timbuctoo; and, fo r the amusement o f the Arabic scholar, three Letters are introduced, with their translations, to enable him to compare the Arabic of Africa with that of Asia. Finally, there is scarcely a page that has not received some additional matter or improvement. Indeed I have been anxious to discuss every, subject that could in •*,Edinburgh- Review, No. 28.Critical Review, Aug. 1809. London Review, August 1809. Anti-jacobin Review, Aug. and Sept. 1809.
