most complete success, and has laid
open to the knowledge of the world

small acquisition to the Geography of
Africa. cannot, in the compass Of
letter, which I am obliged TO make a
short one, inform you Of my adventures
in this romantic and fortunate exped-
ton. My journal of it has been sen, to
England for publication, and copies of it
may possibly reach America in two
months. have had the honor Of having
contributed to the success of most ex-
traordinary expedition, which has been
successful, and Of being the
first civilized man that was ever on the
