FOOTNOTES:
[1]The spirit and motives of M. Durand are throughout his work sufficiently evident: his object is to promote the ambitious views of his countrymen at the expence of every other nation. His account of Bulam is partial and unsatisfactory; but as he has mentioned the name of Captain Beaver, we will refer our readers for a full and interesting history of the establishment at Bulam, to a work which he lately published, intitled “African Memoranda, &c.”—Ed.
[2]The author, doubtless, meant that he would cause these journies to be executed; for it does not appear that he had any intention of performing them himself.—Ed.
[3]The places marked with an asterisk, were visited by Rubault and Sidi-Carachi, when they travelled together. Two asterisks indicate the place which Mungo Park passed through as well as our travellers.
