" The present edition is printed nearly verbatim irom tlie original ; the eLeets 

 of which were forwarded to this country by the American proprietors: the only 

 liberty that has been taken with the language, has been merely the correction of a 

 few inadvertent grammatical or typographical errors. The American copy con- 

 tained an Appendix drawn up by Captain Lewis on the State of the Indian Na- 

 tions ; . . . . but as the subject is altogether of a local nature, and the observa- 

 tions possess little interest for the British reader, it has been omitted." Besides 

 the whole of the Appendix, which occupies 89 pages of the original, the Life of 

 Lewis and the American editor's Preface are also omitted ; in place of the latter 

 being introduced a new preface by the English editor. Excepting these points 

 and those mentioned above iu quotation-marks, this English 4to ed. is identical 

 with the original ij vol. 8vo American one, q. v.

Except in form, and in some minor details of tj"pography iucident to resetting 

 of the type, this is identical with the 4to ed. of 1814. This edition, conveni- 

 ent in form, and otherwise unexceptionable, is a favorite one, perhaps oftener 

 met with, even in this country, than the original of 1814. It was reissued under 

 date of 1817, apparently from the same plates; though I obstrve, on the last two 

 pages of vol. I, a slight discrepancy in the set of the type.
