[Footnote 111: The local description of Alexandria is
perfectly ascertained by the master hand of the first of
geographers, (D'Anville, Memoire sur l'Egypte, p. 52 - 63;)
but we may borrow the eyes of the modern travellers, more
especially of Thevenot, (Voyage au Levant, part i. p. 381 -
395,) Pocock, (vol. i. p. 2 - 13,) and Niebuhr, (Voyage en
Arabie, tom. i. p. 34 - 43.) Of the two modern rivals,
Savary and Volmey, the one may amuse, the other will
instruct.]
