Abrégé de l'Histoire Universelle, Ancienne et Moderne; for the use of young persons; by the Count de Ségur. 2d edition. 9 vols. 18mo. with plates. 18 francs. Paris. Annali Musulmani; Annals of Islamism; by Giambatista Rampoldi. vols. 1, 2, and 3. 1822; 4, 5, and 6. 1823. Milan. The record of events worthy to be remembered, and of which the Arabs have been the authors, after the introduction of the creed of Muhammed, is the subject treated of by Rampoldi. The hours that he has consecrated to a work of this extent, his knowlege of the Arabic language, &c. ought to secure to him the confidence of readers, particularly as he has been enabled to divest himself of the partiality which the zeal for Christianity in the West, and that of Islamism in the East, may have mingled in the judgment of the actions of Mohammed (Mahomet). This history will be completed in 12 volumes; the 6 already published reach to the year 1099, the epoch of the taking of Jerusalem by the Crusades. If we consider this work in a literary and scientific view, it is undoubtedly an honorable enterprise for the author. It discovers in the numerous notes, as well as in the text, an abundance of useful and important knowlege, relating to various branches of science, and particularly to commerce, navigation, geography, and diplomacy.
