قصة الكتاب :
In the preparation of this, and of the preceding volumes, of Travels in the South of Europe, in South America, and in Africa; as well as in the Biographical Conversations on Celebrated Voyagers and Travellers, it has been the design of the author, by a detail of anecdotes of extraordinary adventures, connected by illustrative remarks and observations, to allure young persons to a study of geography, and to the attainment of a knowledge of the character, habits, customs, and productions of foreign nations. The whole is supposed to be related in a series of daily instructions, from a parent to his children.\r\nThe \"Biographical Conversations on Celebrated Travellers,\" contain a further account of the United States and of Canada, in Professor\'s Kalm\'s Travels through those countries; and of the northern regions of America, in the Narratives of Hearne\'s Journeys from Hudson\'s Bay, to the Northern Ocean.\r\nThe vignette represents the natural arch, called Rockbridge, described in page 102.\r\nCharlotte Street, Bloomsbury,\r\nLondon, 22d July, 1821.\r\n
