Jonathan Carver, traveller, born in Still- 

 water, N. Y., in 1732 ; died in London, Jan. 31, 

 1780. In the French war he commanded a com- 

 pany of provincials in the expedition against 

 Canada, and in 1763 he undertook to explore 

 the vast territory claimed by Great Britain in 

 North America. He left Boston in 1766, and, 

 having reached Michilimackinac, the remot- 

 est English post, applied to Mr. Rogers, the 

 governor, for a supply of goods as presents for 

 the Indians on the route he intended to follow. 

 Having received a part of the required sup- 

 ply, with the promise that the remainder should 

 be sent after him to the Falls of St. Anthony, 

 he continued his journey; but as the expected 

 goods did not reach him, he was under the 

 necessity of returning to Prairie du Chien. 

 Thence, in the beginning of 1767, he set out 

 northward, with a view of finding a communi- 

 cation between the headwaters of the Missis- 

 sippi and Lake Superior. He reached Lake 

 Superior, and returned, after spending several 

 months on its northern and eastern borders, and 

 exploring the bays and rivers that flow into the 

 lake. Soon after his arrival at Boston, in Octo, 

 ber, 1768, at which date he had traveled nearly 

 7,000 miles, he set out for England "to an- 

 nounce his discoveries." On his arrival he pre- 

 sented a petition to the king, praying for a re-im- 

 bursement of the sums he had expended; and, 

 after undergoing an examination by the Board 

 of Trade, which ordered him to surrender his 

 papers, he received permission to publish his

journal; but the profits he derived from the 

 sale were insufficient to relieve his necessities 

 and in the winter of 1779 he obtained a subsist 

 ence by acting as clerk in a lottery- office. HaV' 

 ing sold his name to a historical compilation 

 which was published in a large folio volume 

 entitled "The New Universal Traveller" (Lon 

 don, 1779), containing an account of all the em 

 pires, kingdoms, and states iu the known 

 world, he was abandoned by those whose duty 

 it was to support him. In the early part of 

 1780 he was reduced to poverty, and died in a 

 state of destitution. The circumstances Were 

 made known to the public by the benevolent 

 Dr. Lettsom, who brought out a new edition of 

 his travels for the benefit of his widow and 

 children, and made such, a representation of the 

 author's sufferings as finally led to the institu- 

 tution of the literary fund..— Appleton's Cyclop.
