The matter here presented is entirely new and hitherto unpublished, and supplements and completes this editor's other works. Dr. Coues says of this work: "No work approaching these journals in the scope, extent, variety, and interest of its contents has appeared since the publication in 1801 of Sir Alexander Mackenzie's memorable voyages, and the present work will undoubtedly take rank with that classic as a veritable mine of accurate information." 600 Hillhouse, William. Indian Notices or Sketches of the Habits, Characters, Languages and Superstitions of the Several Indian Nations. (of British Guiana), with Icthyology of the Fresh Waters of the Interior. This rare book seems to have been overlooked by bibliographers. The author in his preface states his intention of printing an illustrated London edition, but owing to the delay has issued a few copies of a Colonial edition, limited to enough to supply His Majesty's Ministers and a few friends. 601 Hodge, Frederick W.

The lower third of the map is missing, but the inscription, “"Wine Hills," and country as far south as Boston are here. The author was especially qualified to act as historian of the thrilling experiences he describes. His account of them is graphic and comparatively free from the mannerisms and prejudices which mar the writings of some of his contemporaries. Such volumes are the foundation of our knowledge of these stirring times, and their value, both to the student and the amateur, must continually increase. Humboldt. Vues des Cordillères et Monumens des Peuples Indigénes de l'Amerique. Illustrated with 69 plates of antiquities, remains, etc., many of which are beautifully colored by hand. 2 vols., large folio, half russia (a little worn).

The author, after four years' study of art in Europe, returned to Canada filled with the determination to fulfill an early design of executing a series of drawings of scenes in Indian life. To accomplish this he traversed, almost alone, the territories of the Red River Settlement, the Valley of the Saskatchewan; across the Rocky Mountains, down the Columbia River, the shores of Puget Sound and Vancouver's Island. The book is a transcript of his daily journal, thrown into the narrative form; and the beautiful engravings are copies of the labors of his pencil. It is an interesting collection of the incidents of life and travel among the Indian tribes inhabiting the regions over which he passed. Le Clercq, Chrestien.

Phila. 1838-42. $150.00 Fine copy of the original edition of this splendid work, now extremely rare. As early as 1824 the practice was begun of taking portraits of the principal Indians who came to Washington and depositing them in the War Department. Under the management of Col. McKenny, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, the number rapidly increased till a very interesting gallery was formed. They were chiefly painted by Mr. King, an artist of high repute, who was remarkably successful in transferring to his canvas the strong lineaments of the Indian countenance. Col. McKenny conceived the plan of making this rare and curious collection more valuable to the world by publishing a series of engraved portraits exactly copied and colored from these paintings. With each portrait is connected a biographical sketch of the individual whom it is intended to represent, interspersed with anecdotes and narrations. The work contains also a historical account of the various Indian tribes within the borders of the United States. |
