the continent of North America. I
This volume will be embellished
with a number of plates, illustra
tive of the dress and general ap

Lewis and Clark on the voyage
and will be ornamented and em

proportion of the expence of Ach
publications depends on the en
gravings which embellish or form
them, and that the precise ihiisu

I ;lt this moment to fix a price on
them—he therefore declares to
the public, that Ins late voyage
was not taken with a view to pe
cuniary aa vantages, and pledges
Inmselt that the estimate winch
lie will in tins instance set on his
