For the in. formation of future voyagers, there will be added in the sequel of this volume, some observati ons and remarks on the naviga tion of the Missouri and Colum bia rivers, pointing out the pre cautions 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 ol North Ameiica, from the con fluence oi the Missouri and Mia- j sissipi rivers to the discharge I of the Columbia into the Pacific ocean. Volume second —Whatever properly appertains to geography —embracing a description ol the rivers, mountains, climate, soil and face of the country; a view ol the Indian nations distributed over that vast region, shewing their tradition*, habits, maimers, customs, national character, sta ture, complexions, dress, dwel lings, arms, and domestic uten sils, with many other interesting particulars in relation to them— Also, observations and reflecti ons on the subjects of civilizing, governing, and maintaining a Iriendly intercourse with those nations.
