DR. COUES’ WORKS ON WESTERN EXPLORATION.

Expeditions of Zebulon Montgomery Pike.

To the Headwaters of the Mississippi River, the Interior Parts of Louisiana, Mexico and Texas, in the years of 1805-6-7. Reprinted in full from the original Philadelphia edition of 1810. With copious explanatory, geographical and scientific notes to the text, a new Memoir of Pike and an Index to the whole. By Prof. Elliott Coues, Edition limited, 3 vols., 8vo.

1,000 on fine book paper $10.00 net per set. 150 on hand-made paper $20.00 net per set.

This edition of Pike’s explorations is only second in value to the annotated journals of Lewis & Clark, by the same editor. The rearrangement by Dr. Coues of the appendices and other extraneous matter adds very greatly to its value, since in the original edition even the experienced reader has found it difficult to collate complete information on many important topics. The volumes are an important contribution to geographical and historical literature.—_The Nation_ (3 columns).

On the whole, the new Pike must prove monumental. It will forever link its author with Pike’s fame. Its map of Mississippi sources, and the arduous voyage (of the editor) into the farthest fountains, will not let us wonder that the Minnesota Park Commissioner styled a lakelet feeding Itasca, Elliot Coues, and inscribed that name upon a boulder on that utmost shore.—_American Historical Review_ (2½ pages).

The great merit in Dr. Coues’ notes is that they preserve the history of the localities and give credit to all the local historians and archæologists. Dr. Coues seems to have read all of the local histories and records, whether contained in books, pamphlets or even newspapers, and has given the references with great painstaking. In fact, the notes are equivalent to a bibliography.—_American Antiquarian and Oriental Journal._

Dr. Coues’ new edition of “Pike’s Expeditions” is a beautiful specimen of presswork most creditable to the taste and liberality of the publisher. The editor has done the material portion of his work as successfully as has the publisher, the result is a well-digested and most readable chronicle, instead of ill-assorted bundles of information (as in the original edition). No explorer has ever been more fully aided to express himself through the ampler knowledges of the generations that come after him than in this case.—_The Dial_ (2½ pages).

New Light on the Early History of the Greater Northwest.

The Journals of Alexander Henry (Partner of the Northwest Company), with Explorations and Life with the Fur Traders on the Red, Saskatchewan, and Columbia Rivers, 1799-1814, now first published, with which are collated the original unpublished manuscripts of David Thompson, Explorer and Geographer of the Northwest Company. The whole carefully edited with copious notes by Dr. Elliot Coues, with Maps, Index, etc. Limited edition, 3 vols., roy. 8vo,

1,000 copies, fine book paper $10.00 net per set. 100 on hand-made paper $20.00 net per set.

Dr. Coues says of this work: “No work approaching these journals in the scope, extent, variety and interest of its contents has appeared since the publication in 1801 of Sir Alexander Mackenzie’s memorable voyages, and the present work will undoubtedly take rank with that classic as a veritable mine of accurate information.” Send for complete prospectus.

“The exceeding value of the work lies in the fact that it is new. Not for a long time has a book of such great historical interest been published in this country ... it should become a cherished book in the eyes of all those who take more than a passing interest in the early history of our country.”—_New York Herald._

“The claim of the publisher that few such important books as this have been issued recently, is a just one. The work is all that could be desired in every way.”—_Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune._

“He (Dr. Coues) beheld in Henry that which he most desired to complete his magnificent endeavor to illuminate the world of the West during the early years of the nineteenth century.”—_The Nation._

“Dr. Coues’ study and research as shown in these volumes is simply marvelous.”—_New York Tribune._

“It will be seen also that Henry and Thompson to a degree overlap Lewis and Clark.”—_The Dial._

“The study of the Indians was his (Henry’s) life work. Here he is keenest and most valuable.”—_Baltimore Sun._
