This is q story descriptive Of Wild and Startling
Adventure, and of the primitive modes of life,
among the Indians and Trappers Of the Great
Northwestern Territory This grand and extern
sive portion Of the American Continent has been
hitherto almost as " sealed book" 10 the civil
lied world In those regions territory nearly rs
large as Europe has long been locked in the mon
opoly of the great Hudso-'s Bay Company, and
Its rival the Northwestern Co. Private enter
prise has not penetrated its soltudes, and OF those
whose duties have called them there, and who
have participated in the treasures of this un-
known land, none have hitherto been willing to
expose its mysteries or have possessed the power
of portrayipg the perilous strange vicisstudes,
through which they have passed. Here we find
classes of men, distinct, indigenous to the soil, or
moulded by its peculiartes perfectly original in

Here 10 a glorious field for novelist whose ex-
perience and talent fit him for the task OF depc-
ting its events. Such man is the author Of
"NIcK WHIFFLEs !" and In this story we VEN
ture to say thai he has surpassed every former
effort. For fidelity to nature, for graphic and dra-
matte force Of style, and for keen delineation Of
character, there are few stories in the language
that can compare with NICK WuIFFLLs." The
author brings before the reader, in life-ke action,
the hardy Adventures and the simple Natives of
the magnificent region. The crime, the wrongs,
the inisiortunes and the unsophisticated virtues
Of the life he depicts, alternately arouse our in
dignation and awaken our sympathy. AT one
time we are wrapt in admiration Of the reckless
courage and romantic daring so wildly painted
by the skilful writer, at another we are melted TO
tears by the exquisite pathos with which some of
the noblest traits Of human nature are brought
before us, and again we are convulsed with laugh
ter by humorous descriptions Of eccentric and
original Characteristic unique offspring Of free
lawless and untrammeled mode of existence q
phase of human nature hit erto unknown for
want of historian.
