Since this work was printed I have received, through the kindness of G. B. Faribault, Esq., of Quebec, several important works printed at that place, which I regret most sincerely that I did not receive in time to be inserted under the respective years in which they were printed. One of them is, however, too important and too analogous to the present work to be omitted, and I therefore insert it here; viz.:

1837.

First printed at Paris in 1784, with the date of 1782 on the title. The
questions to which this work is an answer, were sent to Mr. Jefferson by

United States. This appears to be the best edition of this work, having
the appendix relating to the murder of Logan's family, printed separately in
1800, and other pieces not in the preceding editions. An edition printed
at Boston in this year is called the 8th American edition.

Cadell,

"Mr. Mackenzie's narrative, if sometimes minute and fatiguing, is uniform-
ly distinct and consistent; his observations, though not numerous, are sa-
gacious and unassuming; and the whole work bears an impression of cor-
rectness and veracity, that leaves no unpleasant feeling of doubt or sus-
picion in the mind of the reader.-Of the importance of his geographical
studies we do not think very highly."-Ed. Rev.
