BIBLIOGRAPHY OF POLO'S BOOK

577

  1.  MALTE-BRUN. Précis de la Géog . Universelle, 4iEme Ed. par HUOT. Paris, 1836.

Vol. i. (pp. 551 seqq.) contains a section on Polo, neither good nor correct.

  2.  PALGRAVE, Sir FRANCIS. The Merchant and the Friar. London, 1837.

The Merchant is Marco Polo, who is supposed to visit England, after his return from the East, and to become acquainted with the Friar Roger Bacon. The book consists chiefly of their conversations on many subjects.

It does not affect the merits of this interesting book that Bacon is believed to have died in 1292, some years before Marco's return from the East.

  1.  QUATREMFRE, ÉTIENNE. His translations and other works on Oriental subjects abound in valuable indirect illustrations of M. Polo ; but in Notices et Extraits des MSS. de la Bibliothèque du Roi, tom. xvi.
