1772.
2 vols. 8vo. - Chiefly geological and mineralogical; in other respects not
interesting.
797. Adair's History of the American Indians. 1775. 4to. - The speculations
of this writer are abundantly absurd; but there are interspersed some
curious notices of the Indians, collected by the author, while he resided
and traded with them.
798. Travels through Carolina, Georgia, Florida, &c. By W. Bertram. 1792. 2
vols. 8vo. - A most interesting work to lovers of natural history,
especially botany, a study to which Bertram was enthusiastically attached.
There is an account of Mr. Bertram in the American Farmer's Letters.
799. An Account of the Countries adjoining to Hudson's Bay. By Ar. Dobbs.
1744. 12mo.
800. The State of Hudson's Bay. By Ed. Humphraville. 1790. 8vo.
801. Account of Prince of Wales Island, in the Gulph of St. Lawrence. By J.
Stewart. 1808. 8vo. - A good deal of information on the soil, agriculture,
productions, climate, &c.: the zoology imperfect.
802. Hall's Travels in Canada and the United States, 1816-17. 8vo.
802. Howison's Sketches of Upper Canada. 8vo. 1821.
Hall's is a pleasant and lively work, unfolding many of the
peculiarities of the manners, customs, &c., of Canada and the adjacent
parts of the United States. Howison's is the work of an abler man: it is
rich in valuable information to emigrants; and is, moreover, highly
descriptive of scenery and manners. The part relative to the United
States is superficial.
