"The charm which Mr. Parkman's books assert on the attention of every reader, is not
wholly derived from the pleasing style of his writing. His perfect knowledge of Indian life
and manners, acquired by personal experience, and his exhaustion of the literature of his
subject, as it is found in printed works, unedited manuscripts, and authenticated tradition,
give new interest to the subjects of which he treats."- Field.

through the City of Mexico to Vera Cruz, during Journeyings of
Six Years; in which he and his Father, who accompanied him,
suffered unheard of Hardships and Dangers, had various Conflicts
with the Indians, and were made Captives, in which Captivity his
Father died together with a Description of the Country, and the
various Nations through which they passed. Edited by Timothy
Flint.
Cincinnati: E. H. Flint. 1833.

8vo, pp. 300. 5 Plates. Half gray calf. FINE COPY. VERY SCARCE.
"The narrative of Pattie's expedition and captivity has more than the ordinary interest
and value, which attaches to the stories of adventurers. He crossed the continent of Amer-
ica on a route which his party were the first to pursue. He encountered tribes of Indians

who then saw a white man for the first time, and his narrative has the merit of being given

n.e

in a candid, unexaggerated style, which impresses us with its veracity. The story of the
perilous expedition, the frightful extremities to which his party were reduced, the fights
with the savages, and his final capture, are all narrated with spirit and candor."

BENJAMIN TALLMADGE.
DANIEL UDREE,
Followed by GEN. WASHINGTON to CHARLES WILSON PEALE. A.L.S.— BENJAMIN FRANK-
LIN to the same. A.L.S.-THOMAS JEFFERSON to the same, A.L.S.- A Special Passport for
REMBRANDT PEALE wholly written and signed by MR. JEFFERSON, as then, President of the
United States. And an A.L.S. of WASHINGTON IRVING to Rembrandt Peale. All in the
finest state of preservation, mounted on tinted leaves, and ruled. A fragment of WASHING-
TON'S COFFIN, from the old vault at Mount Vernon, duly authenticated, is attached to the
inside of the under cover.

This very interesting collection, relating, as it does, entirely to a single important historical object, and forming a galaxy of the autographs of the most illustrious of the great and good men of the period of the Revolution, possesses a value far beyond that of a mere collection of autograph letters, inasmuch as many of the writers minutely describe the countenance, features, person and character of Washington; the circumstances under which they met him; some in the field; others under the hospitable roof of Mount Vernon; and relate interesting reminiscences of the events which brought them into his presence. The volume was arranged by the eminent artist himself, and accompanied him during his lecturing tours throughout the United States. It consequently exhibits some exterior evidence of use, although in most excellent preservation.

A UNIQUE WASHINGTONIAN MEMORIAL.
