I indulge the hope, that young read ers who have so favorably received my former at tempts to amuse and instruct them, in my several works reviving the fabulous legends of remote ages, will find equally attractive these true nar ratives of bold adventure, whose date is compara tively recent. Moreover, their scenes are laid, in the one instance, in our own country; and, in the other, in that great and rising empire of Brazil to which our distinguished naturalist, Prof. Agas siz, has gone on a pilgrimage of science. It will enable us better to appreciate the discoveries and observations which the professor will lay before us on his return, to know something beforehand of the history and peculiarities of the region which is the scene of his labors and, on the other hand the route across the N orth-american continent, to which the first part of the volume relates, de rives increased interest, at this time, from the fact that it nearly corresponds to the route of the contemplated Northern Pacific Railroad.
