rangers, under the perfect arrangement and discipline invented by Rogers. I consider him to have been as great a man in his peculiar sphere as Napoleon Bonaparte, and of moral courage and honesty coming nearly if not quite up to the mark of Andrew Jackson. "I am, respectfully, sir, your obedient servant, "Isaac Hill." LITERARY REVIEWS ROGERS' CONCISE ACCOUNT (From The Gentleman's Magazine for December, 1765, Vol. 35, pages 584-5.) This is an account very different from the compilations which are undertaken for booksellers, by persons wholly unacquainted with the subject, and who generally have neither sufficient diligence nor skill to regulate the multifarious materials which lie scattered before them, perhaps in an hundred volumes, nor even to reject, much less reconcile the inconsistencies and contradictions with which such materials always abound. Major _Rogers_ has travelled through great part of the country he has described, in the course of his duty as an officer in his majesty's army, and has received accounts of other parts immediately from the inhabitants, or from persons who had been carried prisoners thither, and afterwards released. The work is concise and yet full; and the knowledge it contains is acquired with pleasure, and retained with ease, by the regularity of the method, and perspicuity of the stile. The author gives an account of every province separately, and of its first discovery and settlement; he describes its situation as to latitude and longitude, and to the countries and seas by which it is bounded; its extent; its rivers; its climate; its commodities, buildings, and number of inhabitants: With a particular attention to such facts and circumstances as appeared most interesting in a political or commercial view. In this work there is also an account of the interior part of _America_, a territory much larger than the whole continent of _Europe_, and hitherto almost wholly unknown. This territory he has considered under three several divisions, marked out by three great rivers that rise near the center of it, _St. Lawrence_, the _Christino_, and the _Mississippi_. The river _St. Lawrence_ he has traced, and is pretty well acquainted with the country adjacent to it, as far up as lake _Superior_; and with the country from the _Green Bay_ westward, to the _Mississippi_ at the Gulph of _Mexico_: He has also travelled the country adjacent to the _Ohio_, and its principal branches; and that between the _Ohio_ and the lakes _Erie_ and _Meshigan_, and the countries of the Southern _Indians_; and his situation gave him opportunities of gaining accounts of the other parts, more particular and authentic than any other.
