This work is largely devoted to a history of the Hudson's Bay Company and John Dunn's adventures in the Northwest. The copy of the first London edition in the Bancroft Library bears this manuscript note in the hand of the sometimes irascible Hubert Howe Bancroft: `This fellow coolly clips from other authors at pleasure... He thinks himself the most unprejudiced man in the world when he never seems to have looked on but one side of a subject in his life'" - Wagner-Camp. Issued as part VIII of "The Home & Travellers Library Semi-Monthly." Field 467; Graff 1182 (1st ed.); Howes D577; Smith 2652; Wagner-Camp 106:3.
