tainining from four to five
hundred pages, each; printed
on good paper, and a fair Pica

periods as the avocations of
the author will permit him to
prepare them for publication.
Part the First—in Ixvo Volumes.

a narrative of the voyage,with a
description of some of the most
remarkable places in those hi

formation of future voyagers,
here will be added in the sequel
of this volume, some observati
ons and remarks on the naviga
tio of the Missouri and Colum
bia rivers, pointing out the pre
caution* which must necessarily
be taken, in order to insure suc
cess, together with an itinerancy
of the most direct and practica
ble route across the continent of
North America, from the con
fluence of the Missouri and Mis
sissipi rivers to the discharge
of the Columbia into tire Pacific
ocean.
Volume second —Whatever

particulars in relation to them—
Also, observations and reflecti
ons on the subjects ot civilizing,
governing, and maintaining a
friendly intercourse with those

would accrue to tne mercantile
interests of the United States, by
combining the same with a direct
trade to tne Fast indies, through
tire continent of North America.

vocabularies cl distinct Indian
languages, procured by captains
Lewis and Clark on the voyage,
and will be ornamented and em
bellished with a much greater
number of plates than will be be

work, as it is intended that every
subject of natural history which
is entirely new, and of which
t nerc arc a considerable number,

Knowing that a considerable
proportion ol rfie expence ot seen
publications depends on the en
gravings which embellish nr form
them, and that the precise num

holy as it regards the second part
of the work, have not yet been
settled; it is difficult lor the author
at tin:; moment to fix a price cm
