If the above popular work were looked to for nothing but as an entertaining 

 journal of European Travel, it would command an interest quite equal to the best 

 books of this class. But the author had other and higher objects in view — his 

 scope and intention were far more comprehensive than the relation of a mere tour 

 or excursion. In this remarkable book, written it is conceded by an extraordinary 

 man, we find the most novel and curious information touching the characters and 

 distinguishing qualities of that much neglected and little understood branch of the 

 human family — the American Indian. 



The personal adventures of these tribes in their transatlantic sojourn, their 

 interviews and conversations with the royal personages and distinguished individ- 

 uals, are given in a style so hapi)y and felicitous, that the book may be said to be 

 as unique and admirable in manner as it i.'* instructive in matter. Mr. Catlin has 

 accomplished a worthy task, and presented the public with a most welcome bo"k ; 

 and though the performance may have been to him somewhat a labor of love, it is 

 hoped that he will every where meet with the patronage his talents and industry 

 so richly deserve.
