NARRATIVE OF 1
TOURNEY ROUND the WORLD,
PRINCIPALLY OVERLAND.
By Sir GEORGE SIMPSON.
Civvernor-in-Chief of the Hudson's Bay Company's Territories in

North America.
The grbat novelty of this expedition arises from its having been
princ e ipally performed ovrland. The position and influence of
the author, his enterprise and scientific attainments, have enabled
him to make extensive additions to our limited knowledge of the
vartous interesting portions of the globe which he traversed. Tin
contributions to the geography of the great American continent
particular, over which he proceeded from Canada to Vancouver, win
be found extremely valuable, as well m his notices of the various
tribes er the aborigines with whom he came in contact—his residence
at Silks, and account of the Alentian Archipelago—his descriptions
of Yamschatka and Siberia—and his journeys over those vast regions
of the Russian Empire, concerning which we have hitherto received
such scanty information.
