455. Voyage au Mont Perdu, et dans les Partes adjacentes des Hautes
Pyrennees. Par Raymond. Paris, 1801. 8vo. - Although these works principally
relate to the formation, natural history, and meteorology of the Pyrennees,
yet the dryness of scientific observation and research is most agreeably
relieved by a lively picture of manners, as well as by the interesting
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
works.

the Bibiotheque expresses a wish that all the departments were described as
well as this, and the department of Finisterre by the same author, and
Auvergne by Le Grand D'Aussy.

manufactures, arts, manners, and mineralogy, enter into these volumes.
