PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION THE SECOND EDITION OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF THE WESTERN COUNTRY, Being the result of the travels, extensive researches and remarks of EDMUND DANA,

who was commissioned as agent, to explore and select from the Public Lands, the most eligible situations for AGRICULTURE $ COMMERCE, with a view to make locations and purchases. The curious and interesting facts collected by the author, in surveying these rude scenes of Nature, so lately the haunt of the untutored Savage, have accumulated to the size of two volumes. This work is intended as a guide to emigrants, who are seeking how to better their condition by traversing sea and land thousands of miles, to gain a new home, where a more temperate climate and fertile soil, confers health and plenty Also, for schools. The intention of the author, in the first volume, is to give a general view of the whole western country, from the Allegheny Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Also, the boundaries and latimdes of the British ami Spanish dominions in the preliminary remarks Alter the

ormer. will be given a moie compendous geographical description 01 tne western country, as dcleneated and parcelled olf into seperate states and territories, by the acts of Congress. A nu also, a description of the respective parts of the unsettled and unsold public lands and late surveys, in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Arkensaw, Missouri, and Michigan territoriesincluding lands designated by the Spanish and French for donations, but not called for, and a brief account of the Canal now opening, and in contemplation to connect the waters of the great Western Lakes, with the Mississippi and Hudson rivers. Also will be added the Census for 1820 of the United States and territories, a nd the latitudes of each slate. The attention of the author in the first volume has been chiefly confined to objects which would be most likely to determine the choice of a prudent man in a place of residence where
