CHAPTER V. 
DOCUMENTS AND MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS. 
We shall place at the close of our remarks several pa- 
pers which the reader will perhaps be well pleased to pe- 
ruse. In 1824^ the Geographical Society published 2i pro- 
gramme of a premium to be decreed to the first French, or 
foreign^ traveller who should arrive at Timbuctoo by the 
way of Senegambia. It is known that^ this programme 
was distributed throughout Europe and in Africa, and 
that it powerfully influenced the efforts or the projects of 
many travellers, and especially the resolution adopted by 
M. Caillie. We shall give this frogramme as published ; 
and afterwards, the report made to the same Society by the 
committee which it appointed four years afterwards to 
judge of the merit of the discoveries made by the French 
traveller. These two papers will be followed by extracts 
from the correspondence relative to his return to Europe.
