PROSPECTUS
Ot Lkwi S and Clark’s tour to
the Pacific Ocean, through the
interior of the continent of
North America, performed bv
order of the Government of
the United States, during the
years 3 804-, 1805 & ISOp.
1 nis work will be prepared
by captain Meriwether Lewis,
a rul will be divided into two
parts, the whole comprised in
Three Volumes, octavo, con
tainining from four to five
hundred pages, each; printed
on good paper, and a fair Pica
type. The several vol
umes in succession will
be put to press at as early
periods as the avocations of
the author will permit him to
prepare them For publication.
Part the first—m Two Volumes.
Volume tirst —Will contain
a narrative of the voyage,with a
description of some of the most
remarkable places in those hi
therto unknown wild* of Ame
rica, accompanied by a Map of
good size, ana embellished with
a view of the great Cataract of
the Missouri, the plan, on a large
scale, of the connected falls of
that river, as also, of those of
the falls, narrows and great ra
pids of the Columbia, with their
several portages. For the in
forma* ion 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 ot
North Ametica, from the con
fluence of the Missouri and Mis
sissipi rivers to the discharge
of the Columbia into the Pacific
ocean.
Volume second —Whatever
properly appertain* to geography
—embracing a description of the
riven, mountains, climate, ’-oil
and face of the country; a view
cf the Indian nations distributed
over that vast region, shewing
their traditions, habits, manners,
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
friendly intercourse with those
nations. A view of the fur trade
of North America, setting forth a
plan for its extension, and shew
ing the immense advantages which
would accrue to the mercantile
interests of the United States, by
combining the smte with a direct
trade to the East Indies, through
the continent of North America.
This volume will be embellished
with a number of plates, illustra
tive of tile tires, and general ap
pearance of such Indian nations as
differ materially from each other;
of their habitations, their wea
pons and habiliments used in war;
their hunting and fishing appara
tus, domestic utensils, &e. Jn
an appendix there will also be gi
ven a diary of the weather, kept
with great attention throughout
the whole of the voyage, shew
ing also the daily rise and fall of
the principal water-corn.ses winch
were navigated in the course of
the same.
Part the second—in one Volume.
This part of the work u ill be
confineu exclusively to scientific
research, and principally to he
natural history of those hitherto
T II U R S D A Y, June 4 , 1807.
unknown regions. It will con
tain a full disser ‘ion on such
subjects as have fallen within the
notice of the author, and which
mac properly be distributed un
der the heads of b<v anv, mineral
ogy, and zoology* together with
some strictures on the origin of
the Prairies, the cause of the mud
diness of the Missouri, of volca
nic appearances, and natural phe
nomena, which were met with in
the course of this interesting tour
•—This volume will aUo 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 em
bellished with a much greater
number of plates than will be lie
stowed on the first part of the
work, as it is intended that every
subject of natural history which
is entirely new, and of which
there are a considerable number,
shall be accompanied by an ap
propriate engraving illustrative of
it.
This distribution of the work
has been made with a view to the
accommodation of every descrip
tion of readers, and is here offer
ed to the patronage of the public
in such shape, that all persons
wishing to become subscribers,
may accommodate themselves
with either of the parts, or the
entire work, as it shall be most
convenient to themselves.
Detached from this work there
will be published on a large scale,
as sou as a sufficient number of
ribscribcrs can be obtained • de

MAP of NOR TH AMERICA.
From long. 9 deg. IF. te the Paci
fic Ocean, and hetiveen 36 deg ’
and 52 N- lat.
Embracing all their late disco,
venes, and that part of the conti
nent heretofore the least known.
This map will be compiled from
the best maps now extant as well
published as in manuscript, from
tile collective information of the
best informed travellers through
the various portions of that regi
on, and corrected by a series of
several hundred celestial obser
vations, made by capt. Lewis du
ring his late tour.
For the convenience of subscri
bers, these works will be deliver
ed at the most respectable com
mercial toy ns, and at the seats of
government of the respective
states and territories within the
union; Mo advance is required,
nor will payment be required un
til uch delivoy is made.
Knowing that a considerable
proportion of the expense of such
publications depends on the en
gravings which embellish or form
them, and that the precise num
ber of such engravings, particu
larly as it regards the second part
of the work, have not yet been
settled: it is difficult lor the author
at this moment to fix a price ou
them —he therefore declares to
the public, that his late voyage
was not taken with a view to pe
cuniary advantages, and pledges
himself that tne estimate winch
jlie will in this nuances set on his
’iterary labours,shall be of the most
moderate description; his princi
pal reason indeed tor proposing
a subscription at all, is, that lie
may be vnauled to form some es
timate of the number of copies
to be struck off.
