15. BARTRAM (JOHN). Observations on the Inhabitants. 
Climate, Soil, Rivers, Productions, Animals, and other Matters 
worthy of Notice. Made by Mr. John Bartram in his . Travels from

By Mr. Peter Kalm. Folding chart. 8vo, half roan. 
London, 1751 
A VERY GOOD COPY OF THIS EXTREMELY SCARCE JOURNAL, which Was 
printed without any authority from Bartram. The notes on the native 
plants are one of the most interesting and valuable features of the book. 
Field says: “This visit of the father of the naturalist, William Bar- 
tram, to the Central Council Fire of the Six Nations, is especially interest- 
ing, not only as having been made at so early a date, hut as affording us 
in this work, a plan and' view of the Long-House, peculiar to the tribes 
of that Confederacy.”
