FOOTNOTES:
[Footnote 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.]
[Footnote 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.]
[Footnote 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.]
