“ In this manner Mr. Salamé prosecuted his labours, amounting to the translation of about one half of the First Volume, until 1824, when Lord Guilford was pleased to transfer the work into my hands: and it is now, under the auspices and at the expense of the Oriental Translation Fund, presented to the Public in these Volumes, containing a complete and faithful Version of the Travels from the commencement, with the omission only of some uninteresting and tedious repetitions of the Greek-Church Ceremonies. ”
