TO N°. XVIII. OF The Classical Journal, FOR JUNE, 1814. OBSERVATIONS ON THE GEOGRAPHY OF SUSIANA. BY WILLIAM VINCENT, D. D. THE Geographical Memoir of the Persian Empire, published last year by Mr. M'Donald Kinneir, and accompanied with a map by Mr. Arrowsmith, opens a field of information little explored by travellers from Europe, and described very imperfectly both by ancient and oriental writers. The vast tract of country between the Indus and the Tigris comprehends so large a proportion of desert towards the province of Seistan, on the north, and such a line of desolation towards the coast of the Indian Ocean, on the south, that there has been little to attract the curiosity of travellers, or the adventure of merchants, our best sources of intelligence; and armies have seldom traversed it, but with the view of more distant conquests beyond the Indus. Alexander, Timour, Humaioon, and Nadir Shah, all advanced either by a northern or an intermediate route; but Alexander only (if we except the fabulous accounts of Dionysus and Semíramis) had the fortitude to hazard a march through the burning sands of Gadrosia on his return, or the wisdom to explore the ocean on that desolate coast, by committing his fleet to the guidance of Nearchus. To illustrate the course of this fleet was impossible, previous to the survey of the coast by Commodore Robinson, in 1774, underVOL. IX. Cl. Jl. Suppl. No. XVIII. 2 F |
