From the Preface: "We present to our patrons a new City Directory satisfied that it is as nearly correct as a thorough and systematic canvass could make it. In the Business Directory all business firms we think are correctly represented classified according to the business pursuits and arranged in alphabetic order. The Appendix shows the different Associations Public Buildings Libraries Ward Boundaries Streets . Municipal Organizations etc. In the Spring of 1864 we propose to publish another Directory which we presume will receive the same liberal support."

Volume I contains an account of the author's travels in England Germany France and Italy. Sabin 4605 erroneously calling for only 1 plan: "The author accompanied Major Long in his second expedition who remarks: An Italian whom we met at Fort St. Anthony i.e. Fort Snelling attached himself to the expedition and accompanied us to Pembina. He has recently published a book which we notice merely on account of the fictions and misrepresentations which it contains. The Revue encyclopedique 1826 criticized the work severely and doubted the discovery. The author replied in a Lettre sur la decouverte d'un manuscript mexicain which was printed.in the English edition of his Pilgrimage." Howes B-338; Clark II 182; Wagner-Camp 26a.2; Pilling Algonquin p. 42; Field 111: Volume II is almost entirely devoted to the author's travels among the Northwestern Indians of whom he gives some novel particulars. The narrations of what he witnessed are tinged with the peculiar glow of the author's temperament. Beltrami must have moved in a gigantic world if he saw external objects through the same media with which he viewed his own person and accomplishments." <br/><br/> Hunt and Clarke unknown books
