Excerpt from Observations in the North-West: Containing an Account of a Trip to Alaska, Whale Story, Moose Story, Description of Relics in Science and Art Galleries, the Minnehaha Falls, Manners and Customs of the People, Etc The six main objects for the appearance of this small book are: First - To awaken the perceptive faculties. Second - It will also be found beneficial in history, by associating the events and relics with the dates, thus making history real. Third - Create an incentive for investigation. Fourth - To awaken interest in museums, science and art galleries. Fifth - To notice nature, human and Divine as well as changes in the social conditions. Sixth - As a supplementary reading book. I conclude by wishing this geographical novel to be a true friend to all who read it, although it may chasten severely at times.
