NARRATIVE OF A
_ _

JOURNEY the WORLD,
PRINCIPALLY OVERLA).M.

By Sir GEORGE SIXESO).T.
Govornor-in-Chief of the Hudson's Bay Company's Territorles in

_
North America.
The great novelty of this expedition arises from its having been
principally performed overland. 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
various interesting portions of the globe which he traversed. The
contributions to the geography of the great American continent in
particular, over which he proceeded from Canada to Vancouver, will
be found extremely valuable, as well as his notices of the various
tribes of the aborigines with whom he came in contact—his residence
at Sitka, and account of the Alentian Archipelago--his descriptions
of Kamschatka and Siberia—and his journeys over those vast regions
of the Russian Empire, concerning which we have hitherto received
such scanty information.
