DR. COUES’ WORKS ON WESTERN EXPLORATION.
Expeditions of Zebulon Montgomery Pike.
To the Headwaters of the Mississippi River, the Interior Parts of
Louisiana, Mexico and Texas, in the years of 1805-6-7. Reprinted in full
from the original Philadelphia edition of 1810. With copious explanatory,
geographical and scientific notes to the text, a new Memoir of Pike and
an Index to the whole. By Prof. Elliott Coues, Edition limited, 3 vols.,
8vo.
1,000 on fine book paper $10.00 net per set.
150 on hand-made paper $20.00 net per set.
This edition of Pike’s explorations is only second in value to
the annotated journals of Lewis & Clark, by the same editor. The
rearrangement by Dr. Coues of the appendices and other extraneous matter
adds very greatly to its value, since in the original edition even the
experienced reader has found it difficult to collate complete information
on many important topics. The volumes are an important contribution to
geographical and historical literature.—_The Nation_ (3 columns).
On the whole, the new Pike must prove monumental. It will forever link
its author with Pike’s fame. Its map of Mississippi sources, and the
arduous voyage (of the editor) into the farthest fountains, will not let
us wonder that the Minnesota Park Commissioner styled a lakelet feeding
Itasca, Elliot Coues, and inscribed that name upon a boulder on that
utmost shore.—_American Historical Review_ (2½ pages).
The great merit in Dr. Coues’ notes is that they preserve the history
of the localities and give credit to all the local historians and
archæologists. Dr. Coues seems to have read all of the local histories
and records, whether contained in books, pamphlets or even newspapers,
and has given the references with great painstaking. In fact, the notes
are equivalent to a bibliography.—_American Antiquarian and Oriental
Journal._
Dr. Coues’ new edition of “Pike’s Expeditions” is a beautiful specimen of
presswork most creditable to the taste and liberality of the publisher.
The editor has done the material portion of his work as successfully
as has the publisher, the result is a well-digested and most readable
chronicle, instead of ill-assorted bundles of information (as in the
original edition). No explorer has ever been more fully aided to express
himself through the ampler knowledges of the generations that come after
him than in this case.—_The Dial_ (2½ pages).
New Light on the Early History of the Greater Northwest.
The Journals of Alexander Henry (Partner of the Northwest Company), with
Explorations and Life with the Fur Traders on the Red, Saskatchewan,
and Columbia Rivers, 1799-1814, now first published, with which are
collated the original unpublished manuscripts of David Thompson, Explorer
and Geographer of the Northwest Company. The whole carefully edited
with copious notes by Dr. Elliot Coues, with Maps, Index, etc. Limited
edition, 3 vols., roy. 8vo,
1,000 copies, fine book paper $10.00 net per set.
100 on hand-made paper $20.00 net per set.
Dr. Coues says of this work: “No work approaching these journals in the
scope, extent, variety and interest of its contents has appeared since
the publication in 1801 of Sir Alexander Mackenzie’s memorable voyages,
and the present work will undoubtedly take rank with that classic as a
veritable mine of accurate information.” Send for complete prospectus.
“The exceeding value of the work lies in the fact that it is new. Not for
a long time has a book of such great historical interest been published
in this country ... it should become a cherished book in the eyes of all
those who take more than a passing interest in the early history of our
country.”—_New York Herald._
“The claim of the publisher that few such important books as this have
been issued recently, is a just one. The work is all that could be
desired in every way.”—_Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune._
“He (Dr. Coues) beheld in Henry that which he most desired to complete
his magnificent endeavor to illuminate the world of the West during the
early years of the nineteenth century.”—_The Nation._
“Dr. Coues’ study and research as shown in these volumes is simply
marvelous.”—_New York Tribune._
“It will be seen also that Henry and Thompson to a degree overlap Lewis
and Clark.”—_The Dial._
“The study of the Indians was his (Henry’s) life work. Here he is keenest
and most valuable.”—_Baltimore Sun._
