IN committing to the press the last volume of my Travels on the Continent of America, I have only to ask for it the same. Careful and patient examina tion, and the same candid and impartial criticism, by which those who may read its pages would like any work of their own to be judged, were they about to appear before the tribunal of the public. Of the narrative and descriptive portions, there will not probably be much difference of Opinion, as the pictures possess at least fidelity and truth, from their being drawn on the spot. On the historical and statistic sections, all practicable care has been bestowed, and the best accessible authorities, ancient and modern, diligently consulted and compared. And of the illustrations, it is sufficient perhaps to say that they are from the pencil of Mr. Bartlett, to ensure for them that confidence in their accuracy, to which, all who have seen the cities and scenes deli. Meated, will hear their Willing testimony.
