The Second Volume Is Entirely Historical.

The following French works particularly and accurately describe the natural history and the meteorology of the Swiss mountains and glaciers; the names of at least two of their authors must be familiar to our readers, as men of distinguished science.

361. Histoire Naturelle des Glaciers de Suisse. Paris, 1770. 4to. Translated from the German of Gruner.

362. Nouvelle Description des Glaciers. Par M. Bourrit. Geneva, 1785. 3 vols. 8vo. - This work of Bourrit is chiefly confined to the Valais and Savoy, and its most important contents are given in the following work by the same author.

363. Nouvelle Description des Glaciers de la Savoie, particulierement de la Vallee de Chamouny et du Mont Blanc. 1785, 8vo. - This work contains an account of the author's successful attempt to ascend the summit of Mont Blanc. There are several other works of Bourrit on the Glaciers and Mountains of Savoy: the latest and most complete is the following:

364. Descriptions des Cols ou Passages des Alpes. Geneva, 1803. 2 vols. 8vo.

365. Voyage dans les Alpes, precede d'un Essai sur l'Histoire Naturelle des Environs de Geneva. Par Saussure. Geneva, 1787 - 1796. 8 vols. 8vo.

366. Relation abregee d'un Voyage a la Cime du Mont Blanc, en Aout, 1787. Par Saussure, Geneva. 8vo.

367. Voyage Mineralogique en Suisse. Lausanne, 1783-4. 8vo.

368. Voyage Mineralogique dans le Gouvernement de l'Argh, et ne partie du Valais. Lausanne, 1783. 8vo. - The first of these works by Razoumousky, and the other by Behoumwesky, are valuable, as noticing those parts which Saussure has not noticed.
