He had devoted much time to the study of Middle Age history, and particularly to the influence of Saracenic science on European civilization; and latterly to Egyptian antiquities. In 1840 he edited a “Narrative of a Journey from Caunpoor to the Boorendo Pass in the Himalayan Mountains, &c., by Major Sir William Lloyd, and Capt. A. Gerard’s Account of an attempt to penetrate to Garoo, &c. with a letter from the Late J.G. Gerard, esq. detailing a Visit to the Shatool and Boorendo Passes,” 2 vols. (See the Atheneum, no. 644.) In 1841 an “Account of Koonawur, in the Himalaya, by the late Capt. Alex. Gerard.” (See the Atheneum, No. 733.) |
