Itinerary of the principal Roads of Andalusia, and of the three great Routes leading from that Province to the Cities of Madrid, Lisbon, and Valencia.
N.B. The measurements on the Post Roads are given in Spanish leagues, conformably with the Government Regulations by which Postmasters are authorized to charge for their horses. On these, therefore, the distances from stage to stage cannot be calculated with much precision; but a Spanish Post league may generally be reckoned 3½[201] English miles. On the other roads the distances are more accurately specified in English miles.

Just Published, In 2 vols., 8vo. with Illustrations, CAPTAIN SCOTT’S TRAVELS IN EGYPT AND CANDIA; With Details of the MILITARY POWER And Resources of those Countries, and Observations on the Government, Policy, and Commercial System of Mohammed Ali.
“One of the most sterling publications of the season. We have recently had no small supply of information on Egypt, but there is a freshness in Captain Scott’s narrative that affords a new desire respecting the events of this most interesting country. The narrative is throughout light, and amusing; the habits and customs of the people are sketched with considerable spirit and talent, and there is much novelty in the gallant Author’s details."—Naval and Military Gazette.
“We do not recollect to have read a better book of travels than this, since Slade’s able publication on Turkey. The field of African and Egyptian investigation has been variously trodden, but Captain Scott, trusting to a shrewd observation and a sound understanding, has struck out new lights and improved upon the information of others."—United Service Journal.
Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough Street. To be had of all Booksellers.
