The amazing diitame between the fdvage and civilized Halt— 'he d:H *rcut means of procuring fubhUeiic:—ilie ufujl habns of living peculiar to CdJ»—the various mode* of cduc<uirtn —the oo polite qualifications that ptocurc cittern and re tp?£t, sad the pccjfioual and coullant eino.oy menisof the two (Idles, render »u imiuidiatt -Opinion nnprathcable. Yhc'e cireumilauces, with the fpint of hosti lity which early generated an enmity between the two people, accelerated their ft-pa :ation, and prevented ilic eftcCl which the Ipint of accom modation might m oinci circumitances have operated. The Angle difference in procuring support, uiuft, without achange*>f living, hav< iendered the removal ot liic Lvagts mdifperilabie. As the country is fettled, ihc timber Idled, habna c 10us eretted, and lands occupied and cultivated, those animals which luruilh the with their principal support decay. ThVy have heen \ed therefore by the calls of nature and neceflii v, rather thao by «>ny concert r fcheine ol policy. Their removal pieced them at once beyond the reach of improvemcn:. While in the neigh bourhood u! a moie civilized and (ocial people, they would more easily become acquainted wiih the advantages vyhicb they enjoy, and more rea dily adopt their am, ihcir manners and way of living. By a frequent interchange of go;>d of fices, and daily obleivation ot the security and abundance of their support* with the numerous advantages of arts, of agriculture, ot inltruments litid of industry; they would gradually drop their prejudices; become more kufible of the attrac tions of society, and at length embrace the; habas arid improvements of civilized life. The civilization of a baibarous nation indeed can only be effe&ed by flow degrte*, even when coudu&ed on proper principles and uniformly prosecuted. Yet we can hardly conceive it pos sible for a people, under so many favorable cir cumftances,to remain long without making some advances towards more agreeable and improved locicty. But when, instead of remaining near the whites, they withdrew beyond the reach ot society, it became impolTible lor tliem io derive any benefit from the knowledge of their arts,or the ir.ftitutions which they might have commu nicated to them. The mortifying circumstances which caused znd accompanied their removal, mutt have con firmed their prciudices in favor of their own manner of life, and augmented their aversion from the whites. These prejudices they would carefullv inilill into the minds of their youth; and by bfir;; teoeatedly renewed and cultivated into a habit, they become invincible. Thus every new generation grows up with all the pas sions, prejudices and enmities of the preceding, and a foundation is laid for perpetual animosity and variance. These arc the principal caufcs which appear to me to have retarded the civilzation of the In dians; and their combined influence seems fuf ficient to account for their present barbarity, without having recourse to a supposed incapa city for improvement, or to any other imaginary hypothecs.

It has been his endeavour, as it was hi* desire, in the present edition, to fupplv the defi ciencies, corrcft the errors, and meliorate the offenfivc parrs of the last. To aflift him in this business, he has received many valuable commu nications from ihe heads of department in the general government, and from gentlemen of re- in the several Rates. The descrip tion of foreign countries- (which composes Pa rt 11. of the above work) has been carefully com piled from the rood approved writers on Geo graphy, and ufoiul information introduced from the discoveries of the latest Navigators, Travel lers, and refpc&able authors. Indeed, no pains nor cxprnfe have been (pared to render this woi < the most complete, accurate, and ufeful of any ever offered to the public.
