The chronology of Long’s later years in Canada is confusing. On page 175 of his book, he gives the date of 1786, and after describing ten months’ occupations says on the next page, “the spring of 1786.” That this should be 1787, is proved by the fact that when he applied to General Hope for assistance the next year, the latter had gone to England. As Hope’s departure occurred in June, 1788, Long’s mistake of a year in his dates is thus manifest. Footnote 6: The following are those to whom he definitely refers: Lahontan, Hennepin, La Salle, Colden, Adair, Carver, Jonathan Edwards, Kalm, Beatty, Rev. John Sargent, Robson, Umfreville, Kames, Robert Rogers, Pope’s poems, a novel by Lady Emily Montague, and Justamond’s Life of Louis XV. Footnote 7: Field, _Essay toward an Indian Bibliography_ (New York, 1873). Footnote 8: Long’s book is of slight topographic value to the historical student, because of the apparently uninhabitable nature of the countries through which he passed; they are nearly as undeveloped now as they were then. Footnote 9: For list of partners, see _Canadian Archives_, 1888, p. 61. Footnote 10: Sir Joseph Banks, president of the Royal Society from 1778 until his death in 1820, was the patron of discoverers, having himself voyaged around the world with Captain Cook (1768–71). He was especially interested in Northwest exploration, and the customs and habits of primitive people, and to him Alexander Henry dedicated his _Travels and Adventures in Canada_.—ED. Footnote 11: The Treaty of Paris, drawn up between the envoys of the United States and those of Great Britain (1783), was called “Oswald’s Treaty,” because Richard Oswald was chief negotiator for the British ministry. The Northwest posts were not surrendered _de facto_, until after Jay’s Treaty in 1794.—ED. Footnote 12: Louis Armand de Lom d’Arce, Baron de Lahontan, was a French officer who served in Canada, in 1683–93. While commanding a small fort on Detroit River, he started on a journey to the Western country. Going by way of Mackinac, he ascended the Mississippi from the mouth of the Wisconsin, and explored part of Minnesota. In 1703 he published an account of his travels, which was largely fabulous, although of some value. The work had, however, great vogue in the eighteenth century, was translated into several languages, and much studied. He also published a French-Algonquian dictionary, to which Long here refers.—ED. Footnote 13: Rev. Jonathan Edwards was much interested in Indian missions; and having been brought up among the Stockbridges, published (1788) _Observations on the Language of the Mukhekaneew Indians_. In a republication with notes by John Pickering, in the _Massachusetts Historical Collections_, 2nd series, x, pp. 81 ff., the added Chippewa vocabulary is that of Long.—ED. Footnote 14:
