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 fray the expence, Lewis & Clark’s 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. * * Editors of Public Prints in tl e United States, disposed to aid the publication of tins work, are requested to give the foregoing a few insertions.
