Transcriber's Note This version of the text is unable to reproduce certain typographic features. Italics are delimited with the '_' character as _italic_. The 'oe' ligature is rendered as separate characters. Words printed using "small capitals" are shifted to all upper-case. The 'oe' ligature is given here as separate characters. There are various fonts employed. These are indicated, usually, simply by indenting those passages. Some compound words appeared both with and without a hyphen. They are given as printed. Where a word is hyphenated on a line break, the hyphen is retained if the preponderance of other appearances indicate it was intended. Illustrations cannot be reproduced here, but the approximate position of each is indicated as: [Illustration: <caption>]. The few footnotes are repositioned at the end of the paragraph or quotation where they are referenced. They have been numbered consecutively (1-13). Please consult the note at the end of this text for details of any corrections made. CATLIN'S NOTES OF EIGHT YEARS' TRAVELS AND RESIDENCE IN EUROPE, WITH HIS NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN COLLECTION.
