_Huet's Navigations of Solomon_ (Vol. vii., p. 381.).--In reply to EDINA'S

Query, Huet's treatise _De Navigationibus Salomonis_ was published in 1698,

12mo., at Amsterdam, and before his work on the Commerce of the Ancients

was printed. EDINA will find a short extract of its contents in vol. ii. p.

479. of Dr. Aikin's _Translation of Huet's Autobiography_, published in

1810 in two volumes 8vo. The subject is a curious and interesting one; but,

from my perusal of the tract, I should scarcely say that Huet has treated

it very successfully, or that the book is at all worthy of his learning or

acuteness.
