This interesting collection includes several series of letters written 

 by employees- of the North-West Company to Roderick McKenzie, who 

 intended publishing a history of the Northwest, and a number of 

 journals. It throws much light on the history of the region previous 

 to 1821, and is especially valuable on this account, since most of the 

 journals of the early traders were destroyed at that time, on the 

 coalition of the Hudson's Bay and the North-West companies. In 

 several of the letters the birds and mammals known by the writers 

 to inhabit their stations are enumerated.
