In the preparation of this, and of the preceding volumes, of Travels inthe South of Europe, in South America, and in Africa; as well as in theBiographical Conversations on Celebrated Voyagers and Travellers, it hasbeen the design of the author, by a detail of anecdotes of extraordinaryadventures, connected by illustrative remarks and observations, toallure young persons to a study of geography, and to the attainment of aknowledge of the character, habits, customs, and productions of foreignnations. The whole is supposed to be related in a series of dailyinstructions, from a parent to his children.
The "Biographical Conversations on Celebrated Travellers," contain afurther account of the United States and of Canada, in Professor'sKalm's Travels through those countries; and of the northern regions ofAmerica, in the Narratives of Hearne's Journeys from Hudson's Bay, tothe Northern Ocean.
