My friends and other persons represented to me, from time to time, that even minute details of life in a region so remote, so peculiar, and so little linown as that in which I had passed nearly a third of a year, would not fail to interest the general reader; but it needed a stronger inducement than such persuasions to overcome my reluctance to issue a book.
