Match I nth, 1807.
Having been informed that
thi re were several unauthorised,
and probably some spurious pub
lica'ions now preparing for Tne
press, on the suhjrct of mv late
tour to the Pacific Ocean, by in
dividuals entirely unknown to
me, I have considered it a duty
which I owe to the public as well
as mvse'f, to put them or. then
guard with respect to such pub
lications, le.-t from the practice
of such impositions they may be ,
taught todepreciate the worth ot
the work which 1 ana int self pie
paring for publication, before ic
can possibly appear; as much
time, labour and expence are ab.
so utcly necessary m order to
do justice to the several subjects
which it will embrace—With a
view therefore, 10 prevent the
practice of those deceptions, the
public are informed that the lists
for subscriptions which have
been promulgated hr mys. lt, ate
j headed with the subjoined Pros
pectus, and that those who wish
to possess the genuine work may
obtain it by entering their names
on those lists. The prospectus
will serve to shew the distributi
on and contents ct tne work.
T 1 Map will most probably be
pub -d bv the latter end of
Octr.ucr next, and the fir.t voi.
of the work about the first 0. Ja
nuary 1808; the two remaining
volumes will follow in successi
on as early as they can possibly
be prepared tor publication.
As early as a just estimate of
(be price of the several parts ot
this work can be formed, public
notice will be given oi the same,
through the medium ot the
Press.
To Robert Frazier only has
permission been given by Gen.
William Clark or myself, to
publish anv thing in relation to
our l a tc voyage. When die pro
posals ViC'e first drawn in Octo
ber last, for the publication of
the journal of that man, they
wee submitted to me for correc
tion;! then expnngecfthe promise
which had been made, that the
woik should contain information
in relation to the natural history
of the country through which we
had passed and cau ioned the
persons concerned in the publica
tion not to promise the world any
thine with which they had not
ihe means of complying; but a 3
the hope of gain seems to have
outstripped their good faith m
this respect; I think it my duty
to declare, that Robert Frazier,
who uas only a private on this
expedition, is entirely unac
quainted with celestial observati
ons, mineralogy, botany or zoo
logy, and therefore cannot pos
sibly give anv accurate informa
tion on those subjects, nor on
that of geography, and that the
whole which can he expected
from his journal is merely a li
mited detail of our daily tians
j actions. With respect to all un
authorised publications relative
10 this voyage, I presume mat
they cannot have stronger pre
tensions to accuracy or intorma”
lion, than that of Robert bra
zier.
Meriwether Lewis.
PROSPEC TUS
Os Lewis and Clark’s tour to
the Pacific Ocean, through the
interior of the continent of
North America, performed by
order of the Government of
the United Sta’e, during the
years 1804, 1805 St 1806.
This work will hprepared
\ bv captain Meriwether Lewis,
and will be divided into two
parts, the whole comprised in
‘1 iv ee Volumes, octavo, con
tainiuing from four to five
hund'ed pages, each; printed
on good paper, and a lair Pica
t\ pe. Ihe several vol
umes in succession will
bt put to press at as early’
periods as the avocations of
the author will permit him to
prepare them for publication.
Part the First—itt Two Volumes.
\ <>LUME flltsT — \\ dl contain
a nan alive ot ‘he rot age,with a
description of some 0+ the most
remarkable p'aces hi those ai
tberto unknown wilds of Ame- 1
rica. accompanied bv a Map of j
good size, aim embellished with !
it view of the great Tatar ict of (
the Missouri, the plan, on a large l
sc ale, of the connected falls of!
tha: liver, as also, of tl.o-e of
the falls. narrows and gieat r.t- |
pids of the Columbia, with their
several portages. For the in
formation ot future voyagers,
there will be added in the seq .el
of this volume, some observati
on; and remat ks on the naviga
tio of the Missouri and Colum
j bia rivers, pointing out the pre
j cautions which must necessarily
I be taken, in order to insure suc
cess, together with an itinerancy
of the ne -A direct and practica
ble route across the continent of
North Amciica, from the con
fluence of the Missouri and Mis
! sissipi rivers to the discharge
, of the Columbia into the Pacitie
j ocean.
Volume second —Whatever
j properly appertains to geography
! —embracing a description ot the
i rivers, mountains, climate, sod
j and face of the country; a view
J of the Indian nations distributed
j over that vast region, shewing
their traditions, habits, mauneiV
customs, national character, sta
ture, complexions, dress, dwel
lings, arms, and domestic uten
sil:!, with ataoy other interesting
particulars in relation to them
Also, observations and reflecti
ons on the subjects of civilising,
governing, and maintaining a
friendly intercourse with those
nations. A view of the fur trade
of North America, setting loii.n a
plan lor its extension, and shew
ing theinnm nse advantages which
would accrue to the mercantile
intevtsts of the United States, by
combining ‘he same with a direct
trade to the Last Indies, tlnough
Ihe continent of Nonli America.
This volume will be embellish and
with a number of plates, illustra
tive of the dress and general ap
pearance of such liidn.n nations as
ddler materially from each oilier;
of their habitations, their wta
pons and haodiuieiiU used in uar;
their hunting and fishing appara
tus, domestic utensils, ike. Jll
I an appendix there will also be gi
ven a diary of die weather, kept
with great attention throughout
the wtiule of the voyage, shew
ing also the daily rise and fall of
the principal water-courses which
j were navigated in the course oi
| the same.
’ Part the second—in ne Volume-
This part of the work will be
confined exclusively to scientific
research, and principally to ‘lie
natural history of those hitherto
unknown regions. It will con
tain a full dissertation on such
subjects as have fallv ll within the
notice of the author, and which
may proper!v be distributed un
der the heads of botant, mineral
ogy, and zoology, together with
some strictures on the origin of
1 he Prairies, tile cause of tne m ad
dines* of the Missouri, of volca
nic appearances, and natural phe
nomena, which were met with in
the course of litis interesting tour
j —Tins Vulunie will also contain a
comparative view of twenty-three
vocabularies of distinct Indian
languages, procured by captains
Lewis and Clark on the voyage,
and will be ornamented and ein
beiiished with a much greater
number of plates titan will be bo
stoned on tile first pari ot the
work, as it is intended that every
subject of natural history wiuen
is entirely new, ar.d ol wliicn
there are a considerable number,
shall be accompanied by an ap
propriate engraving illustrative of
it.
This distribution of the work
lias been inide with a view to me
accommodation ot every desenp
.1011 of readers, and is here oiLr
td to the pnronage of the public
in such shape, that all persons
wishing to become subsenbeis,
may accommodate - themselves
with either 1 the parts, ur tne
entire work, s- it shall be most
convenient, to themselves.
Detach and from this work there
will be published on a large scale,
as soon as a sufficient number of
•nbscribers nan h obtained to de
bay tile expence,

nor will payment be required un

Knowing that a considerable
proportion of die expence of such
publications depends on the en
gravings which embellish or form
them, and that the precise num
ber of such engravings, partiou
: lariv as it regards die second pa> i
j of the work, have not yet been
| settled; it is difficult for the author
1 at this moment to fix a price 011
j them—lie therefore declares to
j the public, that his late voyage
i was not taken with a view to pe-
I cmiiarv advantages, and pledges
himself that the estimate which
lie wll in tins nislaiicU set cn Ins
literary labours,shall be of the most
moderate description; hL princi
pal reason indeed lor proposing
; a subscription at all, is, that lie
may be enabled to form some *s
timato of the number of copies
to be strut k off.
Editors of Public Prints in
the United States, disposed to aid

requested 10 give the foregoing a
