James See also:Bruce's travels, and of the first discoveries made by the See also:African Association, determined him to become an explorer of Central See also:Africa. He went first to See also:Egypt, arriving at See also:Alexandria in See also:January 1792. He spent some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time in visiting the See also:oasis of See also:Siwa or See also:Jupiter See also:Ammon, and employed the See also:remainder of the See also:year in studying Arabic and in examining the ruins of See also:ancient Egypt. In the See also:spring of 1793 he visited See also:Sinai, and in May set out for See also:Darfur, joining the great See also:caravan which every year went by the See also:desert route from Egypt to that See also:country. This was his most important See also:journey, in which he acquired a great variety of See also:original See also:information. He was forcibly detained by the See also:sultan of Darfur and endured much hardship, being unable to effect his purpose of returning by See also:Abyssinia. He was, however, allowed to return to Egypt with the caravan in 1796; after this he spent a year in See also:Syria, and did not arrive in London till See also:September 1798. In 1799 he published his Travels in Africa, Egypt and Syria, from the year 1792 to 1998. The See also:work was full of valuable information; but, from the abruptness and dryness of the See also:style, it never became popular. In 1800 Browne again left See also:England, and spent three years in visiting See also:Greece, some parts of See also:Asia See also:Minor and See also:Sicily. In 1812 he once more set out for the See also:East, proposing to penetrate to See also:Samarkand and survey the most interesting regions of central Asia. He spent the See also:winter in See also:Smyrna, and in the spring of 1813 travelled through Asia Minor and See also:Armenia, made a See also:short stay at See also:Erzerum; and arrived on the 1st of See also:June at See also:Tabriz. About the end of the summer of 1813 he left Tabriz for See also:Teheran, intending to proceed thence into Tartary, but was shortly afterwards murdered. Some bones, believed to be his, were afterwards found and interred near the See also:grave of See also:Jean de Thevenot, the See also:French traveller.
See also:Robert See also:Walpole published, in the second See also:volume of his See also:Memoirs See also:relating to See also:European and See also:Asiatic See also:Turkey (1820), from papers left by Browne, the See also:account of his journey in 1802 through Asia Minor to See also:Antioch and See also:Cyprus; also Remarks written at See also:Constantinople (1802).
