Dtibing the progress of my former work on Lycia through
the press, my friend Mr. Daniel Sharpe furnished me with
some interesting results arising from his examination of
my Lycian inscriptions. The short time these were in his
hands would not allow of a more perfect elucidation; but
the discoveries are of so interesting a nature, as connected
with the subject of this work, that I shall enumerate some
of the leading features bearing upon history and geography,

larger work.

Beaufort in Caria. This has been used by some continental philologists
as an evidence of the language having extended over that district also.
I have received a letter from Captain Beaufort since my return to England,
in which he says, " I have at length discovered in my old journals the
