(BY THE ENGLISH EDITOR,) 



The scene to which this volume chiefly 

 relates — the Republic of Columbia — hav- 

 ing become an object of such deep and 

 general interest, the publishers have plea- 

 sure in at length presenting it to the public. 

 The French original had been delayed by 

 circumstances over which the editor had 

 no controul. The succeeding portion, 

 which will comprise an account of the 

 island of Cuba, and a part of the Journey 

 into the Cordillera of the Andes, is already 

 in the press, and proceeding with all possi- 

 ble expedition. The Author having, in the 

 course of the work, brought under his re- 

 view almost all branches of the Sciences, 

 purposes to give, at the conclusion of the 

 whole, a classed table of contents, or me- 

 thodical index, for the facility of reference.
