Abstract
DR. NACHTIGAL'S wanderings came to an end more than six years ago. Most of his results have been brought at various times before learned societies and otherwise published, and the most important parts of his route are laid down in published atlases. The present work contains a detailed account of his entire travels and observations. The book now under consideration is only an instalment extending over his journey up to the end of the year 1870; a second is to follow. The volume is a large octavo of 750 closely printed pages with an appendix containing meteorological observations.
