So cordially has the first edition of this Geography and History been received by the public, and so general has been the call for a second edition, that the author has lost no time in preparing one for the press. In order to make the work still more attractive, he has added several introductory pages of new matter, and inserted a few additional engravings. Although the former arrangement of the pages has been retained, some sections have been re-written and the chapter relating to the Indians has been entirely re-cast, as well as greatly improved and enlarged. This brief record of the early history of the aborigines of the country, the author deems to be essential to the completeness of any sketch of Canadian Geography and History, especially as traces of the musical language of the Indians still linger in the names of many of the civil and geographical divisions of the country which was once entirely their own.
